Hill-Agnus Wins 2024 Albertine Translation Prize

The 2024 Albertine Translation Prize, which honors American publishers of French works translated into English, has been announced by Villa Albertine. The fiction prize was awarded to translator Eve Hill-Agnus for her translation of Ultramarine by Mariette Navarro (Deep Vellum), a seafaring novel with speculative elements.

Villa Albertine is the cultural and educational division of the French Embassy in the U.S. The Prize winners are selected by a committee of experts, who choose works from among those selected for the Albertine Translation Fund program. The Fund awards $2,000 for publication costs for each book and covers half of the cost of translation, up to $5,000. 18 works were chosen for the program in 2024.
