PUBLISHING Scotland has announced that its Translation Fund, designed to support international publishers with the translation of Scottish authors, has once again supported a brilliant array of authors and publishers.
With the help of Creative Scotland, the publishing house has spent £23,000 on 15 international publishers to translate Scottish writing into German, Turkish, French, Danish, Italian, Arabic, Serbian, Macedonian, Hungarian and Portuguese.
The website explains further: “Its purpose is to support publishers based outside the UK to buy rights from Scottish and UK publishers and agents by offering assistance with the cost of translation of contemporary Scottish writers. The funding will be received in the form of a grant.”
