Grant Description

Through fellowships to published translators, the Arts Endowment supports projects for the translation of specific works of prose, poetry, or drama from other languages into English. We encourage translations of writers and of work which are not well represented in English translation. All proposed projects must be for creative translations of published literary material into English. The work to be translated should be of interest for its literary excellence and value. Priority will be given to projects that involve work that has not yet been translated into English. Competition for fellowships is rigorous. Potential applicants should consider carefully whether their work will be competitive at the national level. We Do Not Fund Individuals who previously have received three or more Creative Writing or Translation Fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts. Individuals who have received any Creative Writing or Translation Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts within the past five years. Scholarly writing. (Writers who are engaged in scholarly work may wish to contact the National Endowment for the Humanities.) Vanity publication or self-publication. Work toward academic degrees.
