“I will be leaving WWB with not only practical skills, such as writing contracts and deliberating on submissions, but also practice and guidance in the difficult, focused art of editing. [...] I know that even when the fellowship is over, I can keep counting on [the WWB team] as I continue on this career path.”

“As an editorial fellow, I felt both supported and heard, and my ideas and suggestions were always met with enthusiasm. The strong sense of community at the heart of this operation is one any young editor or translator can benefit from immensely.”
