“There are almost certainly stories we’re missing out on by only reading English-language fiction… The more translated fiction we read, the more our view of the world expands.”

The Anthea Bell Prize for Young Translators is now OPEN! 🎉

Over the next few weeks, secondary school students aged 11-18 will be translating short competition texts from six languages. 📚
