The Third Coast Translators Collective (TCTC) is an international community of literary translators. Our members share resources, mentor one another, workshop projects in progress, facilitate pathways to publication, and foster a sense of belonging and excitement about the profession. We seek to build relationships with other literary and cultural organizations in Chicago, to advocate for minority linguistic representation, women in translation and fair translation wages, and in the process, become a valuable point of reference for international literature.
