LITERATURE PROJECTS ABROAD – GRANTS FOR TRAVEL, P
ROJECTS AND EVENTS Foreign publishers may apply for funding to help cover the cost of inviting Swedish authors in conjunction with book launches, literary festivals and similar events. Organizations may apply for funding for projects or international exchanges. Projects can include, but are not limited to, translation seminars, collaborative literature projects and themed events. Financial support may also be awarded to information campaigns and publications aimed at promoting Swedish literature internationally. Support may be sought for projects involving authors not yet published in the country or language in question, for example for readings of new poetry or drama. Translation costs may be covered by the scheme if incurred within the framework of a project, but grants for the translation of Swedish literature are normally administered through the Support Scheme for Swedish Literature in Translation. Applications must include a project description, a budget, aims and objectives, as well as names of participants in the project/event. The budget must clearly specify the costs for which funding is applied. The grant will be paid as soon as the application is approved, and the applicant has filled out the necessary documents. www.swedishliterature.se/literature_projects_abroad
