Dear colleagues,
Does anyone have any info on literary translation training provision in Libya, Algeria, Yemen, Palestine, Mauritania, Sudan?

Many many thanks and greetings!

Hope this helps.

I would certainly be extremely grateful for your input on Yemen and Sudan, neither of which I have covered as yet.

Thank you so much for engaging with this!
With very best wishes,
