The 2010 London Book Fair introduces
new Literary Translation Centre as a regular Fair feature
New
for 2010, The London Book Fair is pleased to announce the introduction
of the Literary Translation Centre which will bring publishing and
translation communities together to raise the profile and increase the
quantity of literary translation in the UK and abroad. English is both
an important market for translation as well as having long been
recognised as an important staging post in translation from one
language to a third language. The UK is also an important hub for
those organisations focused on translating foreign literature, making
The London Book Fair an ideal location for this vital new feature.
The Literary Translation Centre can be found in Earls Court Two
