X Editor’s week in Buenos Aires For the first time in ten years, TyPA Foundation will reserve two places for Latin American publishers who are interested in adding Argentine authors to their catalogues. We believe in the mind-opening and barrier-breaking power of literature. Therefore, we believe that good books need to travel around the world. Good editors and publishers are fundamental in this journey: it’s their knowledge and interest, their love of foreign languages and cultures, their personal taste, which start the slow process of a book’s translation. And there’s no better way of discovering new authors than through personal, individual contact. That is why each year we invite a small group of editors interested in literature from Latin America to spend a week in Buenos Aires and obtain first-hand knowledge of the local literary scene. DESCRIPTION: The general grant covers all local costs: lodging, food, urban transportation, etc. There are also a few complete grants, which include air tickets. WHO SHOULD APPLY: Latin American publishers who are interested in buying rights of Argentine authors. HOW TO APPLY: DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS: Friday, November 10, 2011. ANNOUNCEMENT OF PARTICIPANTS: Monday, December 19, 2011 DATE: From Sunday, April 15, to Friday, April 20, 2012. ORGANIZED BY: Fundación TyPA FOR MORE INFORMATION PLEASE WRITE TO letras@typa.org.ar |
