Grants for the internationalisation of Basque Literature

Etxepare Basque Institute has launched several financial support iniciatives to promote the translation and international reach of Basque literature.

"With this aid, our goal is to impact every stage of the process of internationalising Basque literature and to support all those involved (writers, translators, editors, publishing houses) throughout the journey, from the initial translation of excerpts to pique the interest of foreign publishers, to the international dissemination of these works".

Ça Colle au basque - translations into French (publishing and promotion included)

As part of the ‘Ça colle au Basque’ project, dedicated to increasing the visibility of Basque culture in French-speaking regions, they have launched a specific call for proposals to encourage the translation, publication and dissemination in French of works written in Basque.

The deadline for the first edition is July 7.

AT! Itzulpena: literatura - samples

This initiative focuses on translating excerpts or samples of works written in Basque into English or French. Its goal is to help authors, translators, publishers, and agents prepare materials to present literary works to potential publishers.

The deadline is 15 August 2025.

AT! Itzulpena: literatura - complete works

This call for proposals focuses on the translation and publication of complete works of Basque literature. It is aimed at publishers who wish to publish works in other languages.
