CSU, Sacramento holds an event each summer called the Writers Conference.
Each year we like to try new subject matter for lectures and workshop.
The question our advisory board would like to know from fellow writers and those who translate literature is:
Would you be inclined to attend a lecture and / or workshop on subject matter relating to translation of literature & writing?
If when you respond you are expressing interest, please include what topics would you be most interested in seeing if you were to attend a conference such as ours.
To learn more about last year’s event check out: http://www.cce.csus.edu/conferences
Thank you.
