RESIDENCY IN SLOVENIA FOR TRANSLATORs

The Slovene Writers' Association (SWA) invites to a residency in literary translation, publication and literary promotion.

The SWA residency program is primarily intended for foreign literary intermediaries, i.e. translators who have completed their studies and have translated and published at least two translated works (the program is not intended for students), or publishers who have published and promoted at least one translated work, or literary agents who have concluded at least one contract with a publishing house for the translation of Slovenian fiction and humanities. Only translations of Slovenian literature and humanities into a foreign language are considered. Preference is given to those translators, publishers and literary agents who contribute to the promotion and recognition of Slovenian fiction and humanities abroad with their work and activity, with this year's emphasis on Italian language and children's/youth literature.

In 2024, SWA will allow a maximum of four translators, publishers and literary agents to stay in residence.

The application deadline is April 10, 2024.
