Announcing the 2025 Albertine Translation Fund Grantees (Session One)
Representing new trends in all categories including fiction, non-fiction, children’s books, and comics, Albertine Translation recognizes the quality of both original works and their translations. Each book listed below will receive financial support, with $2,000 reserved for publishing costs and an additional amount of up to $5,000 matching 50% of the translation costs.
While most of these titles have secured an American publisher, some are waiting to find a good home. Please email us at translation@villa-albertine.org, if you are interested in receiving more information about these titles, or would like to be connected with the translators and rights holders of the works.
