A strong literary translation is shaped through revision, feedback, and careful editing. In this two-hour hands-on workshop, Shanna will share practical approaches to editing literary translations, giving and receiving constructive feedback in peer workshops, and also the basics of pitching your work!

Suitable for translators with little or no previous workshopping experience, the session will combine practical guidance with collaborative discussion to help participants develop greater confidence in refining and presenting their work.

Participants are required to submit an approximately 200-word literary prose translation (into English) by 21 September 2026, 11.59pm to This email address is being protected from spambots.

Literary prose of all kinds (including novels, short stories, literary essays, travel writing, and creative non-fiction) are welcome. Unfortunately, poetry and non-fiction cannot be accommodated.

Please format your translations in Times New Roman, 12-point font, double-spaced, and include your name, the title of the work, the author's name, and the source language at the top of the MS Word document.

Five submissions will be selected for live discussion during the workshop. All participants, regardless of whether their work is discussed in class, will receive individual written feedback from Shanna via email after the workshop.

The session is supported by LTI Korea.
