Brazil launches translation support program

Brazil’s National Library Foundation, an office of the Ministry of Culture, has announced a program to support the translation and publication of Brazilian authors abroad. The program, which runs until 2020, will distribute a total of US$7.6 million in financial support ($2 million for 2011-13). Incentives may take the form of grants for the translation of Brazilian literary works from all genres, as well as the reissue of books previously published abroad. Grants will be worth between $1,000 and $8,000 per work. The program is open to publishers who have acquired the rights to works by Brazilian authors.

More information about the program can be found on the National Library’s website.

Brazil will be the Guest of Honour of the 2013 Frankfurt Book Fair. You may also want to read the report of the 2010 Livres Canada Books scouting mission to São Paulo.
