Master of Creative Writing [Literary Translation] From Fairleigh Dickinson University

In addition to working individually with acclaimed and award-winning faculty members, students have the opportunity to work with the editors of The Literary Review, the international literary magazine with a long history of publishing translations. Students may choose Literary Translation as a second concentration if they choose the three-year MFA option. Students concentrating in other genres have the option to choose Literary Translation for their one elective module.

Translation workshops are modeled on other creative workshops, and they incorporate translation theory (relative meaning, sonority, and historical and cultural context). Students of literary translation need a working knowledge of the language from which they wish to translate, but they may supplement that knowledge with dictionaries, interviews, and other sources.
