Deadline: 20 October 2010
Ledig House International Writers Residency is proud to offer the 2011 Amazon Translator Fellowships through the generous support of Amazon.com. Supporting the work of translators is a major part of the Ledig House mandate and with this support from Amazon.com our organization is able to dramatically increase the scope of this mandate.
Three fellowships will be awarded; each will be one month in duration. Translators of all languages are welcome to apply. If you would like to be considered for an Amazon.com Translator Fellowship, please follow the general application guidelines. In the required description of your work to be completed at Ledig House, please be sure to state that you would like to be considered for an Amazon Translator Fellowship. The application deadline is October 20, 2010. Candidates are free to request a residency during the spring or fall 2011 session.
In addition to Ledig House, Amazon.com has awarded grants to a diverse range of not-for-profit author and publisher groups dedicated to fostering the creation, discussion and publication of new writing and new voices, including WriteGirl, 826 Seattle, , Voice of Witness, Poets & Writers, Seattle Arts and Lectures, Milkweed Editions, Richard Hugo House, Artist Trust, Hedgebrook, Copper Canyon Press, Girls Write Now, Lambda Literary Foundation, Clarion West, the Association of Writers & Writing Programs and the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers. A number of the recipients- such as Open Letter, Archipelago Books, Pen American Center, Words Without Borders, and the Center for the Art of Translation- are, like Ledig House, committed to the international exchange of literature and the work of translators.
