This week we'd like to introduce our 2024 bursary winners.

It was so hard to choose just one winner, so we've awarded the bursary to two promising candidates.

First off, let's meet Sophia! ๐Ÿซถ

Sophia is a German and Russian literary translator. She's currently working on Markus Heitz's thriller, Des Teufels Gebetbuch, due to be published next year.

She completed her MA in Translation and Interpreting at the University of Bath in 2022.

Welcome Sophia! ๐Ÿฅณ

The deadline for applications for the ITI GerNet bursary is 1 April!๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Email the ITI GerNet coordinator ([email protected]) to apply.

Tell us about your experience, how you meet the criteria, and how the bursary would help launch your career in translation and interpreting.

Applications can be made in English or German and should be no more than 250 words.

Viel Erfolg! ๐Ÿ€
