Writers Omi will host five English language translators to the Omi International Arts Center for one week. These translators will be invited along with the writers whose work is being translated. This focused residency will provide an integral stage of refinement, allowing translators to dialogue with the writers about text-specific questions. It will also serve as an essential community-builder for English-language translators who are working to increase the amount of international literature available to American readers.<\/p>\n

Writers Omi will be accepting proposals for participation until July 1, 2012. Translators, writers, editors, or agents can submit proposals. Each proposal should be no more than three pages in length and provide the following information:<\/p>\n

\u27a2 Brief biographical sketches for the translator and writer associated with each project
\n\u27a2 Publishing status for proposed projects (projects that do not yet have a publisher are still eligible)
\n\u27a2 A description of the proposed project
\n\u27a2 Contact information (physical address, email, and phone)<\/p>\n

Proposals should be submitted only once availability for residency participation of the translator and writer has been confirmed. All proposals and inquiries should be sent directly to DW Gibson<\/a>, director of Writers Omi at Ledig House.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
