Taiwan Literature Emerging Translator Mentorships Programme Officially Launched!

The National Museum of Taiwan Literature (NMTL) has partnered with the UK's National Centre for Writing (NCW) for the very first time. Supported by the Ministry of Culture, a new "Literature from Taiwan" strand has been introduced to the NCW's 2026/27 Emerging Translator Mentorships Programme. Renowned translator and writer Jeremy Tiang will serve as the mentor, and applications are now open to emerging translators.

Taiwanese literature is gaining increasing global visibility, and this collaboration with the NCW marks a major milestone. The initiative aims to nurture high-calibre English-language translation talent, enabling Taiwanese works to cross linguistic boundaries and reach international readers.

Programme Highlights:

  • Six-Month Mentorship The NMTL will support the selected mentee through a six-month one-to-one mentorship with Jeremy Tiang (October 2026 to March 2027).

  • Industry Experience & London Book Fair The programme includes a study visit to the London Book Fair the following year, online industry networking events, bespoke training workshops, participation in International Translation Day activities, and the International Translation Day Symposium.

  • Showcase & Membership The mentorship will culminate in a digital showcase and the publication of an anthology featuring the mentees' translations. Furthermore, the selected translator will receive a one-year membership to the Translators Association (part of the Society of Authors), offering comprehensive support for their professional career development.
