ALTA’s Board and staff are excited to be bringing you year-round programming for ALTA45 in 2022. ALTA Travel Fellowships are funded by a combination of member dues and private donations, often generously provided by established translators and other devoted supporters of literary translation. Among the fellowships is the Peter K. Jansen Memorial Travel Fellowship, which is preferentially awarded to an emerging translator of color or a translator working from an underrepresented diaspora or stateless language.
WORTH
- Each year, a number of fellowships between $500 and $1,000 are awarded to emerging translators to help them participate in the annual ALTA conference.
ELIGIBILITY
- For the ALTA Travel Fellowships, an emerging translator is someone who does not yet have a book-length work of translation published or under contract.
- ALTA considers chapbooks to be book-length publications for the Travel Fellowships. The ALTA Travel Fellowships are open to individual translators (not teams of co-translators).
- ALTA strive for inclusivity and diversity in our applicants. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds, regardless of ethnicity, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, ability status, educational level or professional experience, including those with prior training or experience in non-literary translation; those who are speakers of Indigenous languages; and those who are heritage speakers of languages other than English.
- While the Travel Fellowships are open to all applicants, applications from translators of color, translators with disabilities, and LGBTQ+ translators is encouraged.
DEADLINE: April 19 2022
