Representing emerging trends across a variety of genres, including fiction, non-fiction, and comics, the Albertine Translation Fund<\/a> helps cover publishing and translation costs for U.S. publishers of works translated from French to English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In total, the Albertine Translation committee selected 18 works in 2024 <\/strong>that reflect the diversity and richness of French publishing, including fiction, essays, poetry, comics, and children\u2019s books. Each will receive grants from the Albertine Translation Fund, providing $2,000 for publication costs and covering half of the cost of translation, up to $5,000. Among the selected grantees, the committee chooses two titles to name prize winners, one in fiction and one in non-fiction. The complete list of titles supported by the Albertine Translation Fund in 2024 are available here<\/a> (session 1) and here<\/a> (session 2).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Prize considers the quality of the original French language work as well as the English translation. A committee of independent professional experts (academics, translators, and publishers) selects winners from among the projects supported by the Albertine Translation program. Winning works epitomize the many facets of a vibrant French and Francophone literary scene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a ceremony held at Villa Albertine’s New York headquarters on January 28, 2025, the Albertine Translation Committee awarded the 2024 Albertine Translation Prize in fiction to Eve Hill-Agnus <\/strong><\/strong>for her translation of Ultramarins<\/a><\/em> by Mariette Navarro, and in non-fiction to Gregory Elliott<\/strong> for Pourquoi la guerre?,<\/a><\/em>\u00a0by Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Gros. In addition to the award, each translator received $5,000 for their work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opening remarks were delivered by Julie Crampe<\/strong>, Vice President of Marketing and Communications, on behalf of the Prize’s sponsor, Van Cleef & Arpels, followed by a roundtable discussion on current trends in French-to-English translation, hosted by Ed Nawotka<\/strong> of Publishers Weekly and featuring Alessandra Benedicty-Kokken<\/strong>, Grey Anderson<\/strong>, Eve Hill-Agnus<\/strong>, and Catherine Francis Fisher<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
