Albertine Translation Fund Grantees Announced
Representing new trends in all categories including fiction, non-fiction, and comics, Albertine Translation recognizes the quality of both the original work and the translation. Each book listed below will receive $2,000 to cover the publishing costs, and 50% of the translation costs up to $5,000.
While most of these titles have secured an American publisher, some are waiting to find a good home. Should you want more information about these titles please email us at translation@villa-albertine.org. We will make a connection with the translator and right holders of the works.
Among the books supported by the program, the committee also choses two winners (one in fiction and one in non-fiction) to be announced in a ceremony at the Villa Albertine Headquarters. The winners will receive a $5,000 prize allocated to the translator.
More information will be available on this page after the ceremony.
