PEN American Center

Grants of $2,000 to $10,000 each are given annually to support the translation of book-length works of poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction that have not previously appeared in English or have appeared only in an “egregiously flawed” translation. Translators may be of any nationality. Manuscripts with multiple translators are not eligible. Submit eight copies of 10 to 12 pages of translation along with the original passage, a brief biography, a curriculum vitae, and a statement outlining the work by February 1. There is no entry fee. Visit the website for the required entry form and complete guidelines.
