Change the landscape of literary translation by becoming an intern with the Thousand Languages Project, a dynamic, multilingual translation project and database from the Virginia G. Piper Center for Creative Writing at Arizona State University.

As an intern, students will work with the Thousand Languages project to:

• Edit: curate themed collections of poems, short stories, and other literary work to translate from the publishing catalogue of Hayden's Ferry Review, an internationally recognized literary journal edited by the MFA students at Arizona State University

• Write: produce critical essays detailing the process of translation and providing literary and social context for the chosen work 

Beyond academic credit, students will gain critical knowledge and hands-on experience in the field of literary translation, editing, and publishing, with author credits for any published work. 

Intern Eligibility

The internship is open to any graduate student at Arizona State University with fluency in a language other than English. Varying levels of credit are available.
