Sarah Timmer Harvey's translation of What I'd Rather Not Think About by Jente Posthuma from Dutch to English has been shortlisted for the NSW Literary Awards 2025 Translation Prize. 

The Translation Prize ($30,000) is offered biennially. The prize was proposed by the International PEN Sydney Centre and is funded by Multicultural NSW with a trophy, sponsored by Sydney PEN.  

The prize is intended to acknowledge the contribution made to literary culture by Australian translators, and recognizes the vital role that literary translators play in enabling writers and readers to communicate across cultures throughout the world. The prize is offered only to translators who translate into English works written in other languages. 

This year's judges include Pamela Allen, Alison Croggon and Tiffany Tsao. The winner will be announced in a ceremony on Monday the 19th of May.
