The Arts Endowments support of a project may begin any time between November 1, 2013, and November 1, 2014, and extend for up to two years.
Through fellowships to published translators, the Arts Endowment supports projects for the translation of specific works of prose, poetry, or drama from
other languages into English.
We encourage translations of writers and of work that are not well represented in English translation.
All proposed projects must be for creative translations of literary material into English.
The work to be translated should be of interest for its literary excellence and value.
Priority will be given to projects that involve work that has not previously been translated into English.
Competition for fellowships is rigorous.
Potential applicants should consider carefully whether their work will be competitive at the national level.
