Albertine Translation Fund 2023 Session #2 – Grantees Announced

Representing new trends in all categories including fiction, non-fiction, children’s books and comics, Albertine Translation recognizes the quality of both the original work and the translation. Each book listed below will receive financial support, with 2000$ going towards publishing costs and an additional amount matching 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. Please email us at translation@villa-albertine.org if you are interested in more information on these titles. We will make a connection with the translator and right holders of the works.
