Circulation of European Literary Works supports projects that translate, publish, distribute and promote works of fiction written by authors who are nationals of, or residents in, Creative Europe countries, or are recognised as part of the literary heritage of these countries.

What is the purpose of the funding?

Strengthen the transnational circulation and diversity of European literary works;

Encourage the translation, publication and promotion of works of fiction written in less widely spoken languages in order to increase their distribution in wider markets in Europe and beyond;
Enlarge the audience for European books, especially to young people by actively encouraging them to discover the diversity of European literature;
Contribute to strengthening the competitiveness of the book sector by encouraging cooperation between different actors within the book value chain- including booksellers and libraries;
Promote the literary translator profession and the principles of visibility, good working conditions and fair remuneration of translator.



In this respect publishers should ensure that the name of the translator(s) is in the published book, preferably on the cover, as well as the source language.
NB: in order to continue to provide support to Ukraine in the field of books, projects aimed at providing books in the Ukrainian language to Ukrainian refugees and displaced people will be encouraged.
Include the cross-cutting issues of inclusion and diversity (notably gender balance), and the greening of Creative Europe.
