Participant Comments

"The size of the Introductory Workshop group was perfect. The texts about translation were very helpful, and our workshop leader created an atmosphere of trust and camaraderie. Attending this conference was an amazing experience. It gave me a new big boost for my confidence as a translator."
– Simone Kraus
Darmstadt, Germany

"Esther Allen's leadership of our workshop group was fantastic. She's brilliant and she also brought out the best in every single participant. We worked on the specifics of each text but out of the specifics Esther drew big ideas and general lessons for our future work. It's the best workshop I've ever taken part in."
– Katie King
Seattle, Washington
