[Sibelan Forrester]

2011 ALTA Travel Fellowship Awards

             The American Literary Translators Association is pleased to 
announce that applications are now being accepted for the 2011 ALTA 
Travel Fellowship Awards. Each year, four to six fellowships in the 
amount of $1,000 are awarded to beginning (unpublished or minimally 
published) translators to help them pay for travel expenses to the 
annual ALTA conference.  This year’s conference will be held November 
16–19 in Kansas City, Missouri.

             At the conference, ALTA Fellows will give readings of their 
translated work at a keynote event, thus providing them with an 
opportunity to present their translations to a large audience of other 
translators, as well as to publishers and authors from around the world. 
ALTA Fellows will also have the opportunity to meet experienced 
translators and to find mentors.

             If you would like to apply for a 2011 ALTA Travel 
Fellowship, please e-mail if possible a cover letter explaining your 
interest in attending the conference; your CV; and no more than ten 
double-spaced pages of translated text (prose or poetry) accompanied by 
the original text to <maria.suarez at utdallas.edu>.

             If you have difficulties with e-mail, please mail the above
