Apply now! Mentorship in translating from Faroese into English

Are you an emerging translator from Faroese into English?

FarLit is once again partnering with the National Centre for Writing for the Emerging Translator Mentorship programme in 2025/26!

After a successful run in the 2024/25 Faroese mentorship between Marita Thomsen, experienced translator, and Bradley Harmon, emerging translator, the programme will once again offer a Faroese mentorship for emerging literary translators for its 2025/26 cycle. Marita Thomsen will return as the mentor in Faroese literary translation, with FarLit sponsoring the upcoming Faroese mentorship programme.

The programme will celebrate fifteen years of mentoring emerging literary translators from all over the world, with a special focus on recruiting translators into languages, whose literature is currently under-represented in English translation. Over a period of six months, the programme matches experienced translators with emerging translators to work together on practical translation projects. The mentor advises the mentee with a view to developing the mentee’s craft, while working on a chosen text or texts.
