For all South Asian writers, an opportunity not to miss: A free, nine-month program that pairs excellent emerging South Asian writers working in English with a mentor. Fellows meet their mentors, attend craft workshops and masterclasses, and have access to bursaries and a community of peers.

We asked Oxford Translates 2026 participants what they thought about the summer school - check out what they said below! It was a pleasure to see so many literary translators come together and share their enthusiasm for this wonderful craft.

We are delighted to share the recipients of our four scholarships for Oxford Translates 2026. Thanks to our sponsors, St Edmund Hall and anonymous donors, these promising translators will be attending the summer school to refine their skills in the company of leading literary translators.

This workshop is a unique opportunity for Catalan translators to work closely with two leading translators, refining their translation skills in both directions (Catalan-English & English-Catalan). This workshop is generously supported by the Institut Ramon Llull.
