Danish Arts Foundation: LiteraryProduction and Translation Grant
All Information
This grant helps publishers bring Danish literary works to readers in other languages and countries. It supports books, e-books, drama, and literary podcasts for adults, children, and young adults. It is particularly relevant to publishing houses that want to introduce Danish authors to new audiences through translation. Publishers outside the Nordic countries can apply, including potentially publishers in Nigeria, provided they have secured the rights to the work and meet the fund’s publication requirements.
