XV TyPA Editors´ Week in Buenos Aires 

From April 23 to April 29, ten editors, translators, agents and scouts from all over the world will spend one week in Buenos Aires to learn more about Argentine books and make new professional connections.

What is the TyPA Editors’ Week in Buenos Aires?

The XV Editors’ Week in Buenos Aires mainly aims at offering participants the most complete possible picture regarding what is currently happening in the Argentine Literature: what are its dilemmas, its authors, its publishing houses, its aesthetics. We want Argentine books to travel around the world, and to achieve that, we keep promoting personal exchanges. 

For one week (from 23th to 29th April) ten editors and translators with different backgrounds will spend a week in Buenos Aires, taking part in a program especially curated by Fundación TyPA in collaboration with Fundación El Libro, Opción Libros and Mecenazgo Cultural.  As the program develops, we expect to connect them with other professionals from the same field and also show them the intense and varied local production, in the context of the Buenos Aires International Book Fair. 

 

Who can apply?

Publishers and editors, scouts and agents working with translated fiction. We may also consider a limited number of applications by translators and critics or journalists. Candidates have to be able to read and understand Spanish in order to profit from the visit, since most events will be held in that language. 

 

Program week: April 23 - 29,  2017 

The call will remain open until: 10th March, 2017.

Participants’ announcement:  20th March,  2017.
