On Wednesday 7 February, we celebrated the SoA’s annual Translation Prizes at the British Library Knowledge Centre. Nine literary translators and one editor shared a prize fund of £28,000.
Hosted by Robyn Law, Head of Fundraising, Grants and Prizes at the SoA, the ceremony saw Alison Watts become the first winner of the Great Britain Sasakawa Foundation Translation Prize for translation from Japanese.
