Fellowships
The Swedish Literature Exchange office arranges fellowships for people in the book business who wants to work with Swedish literature in translation. The purpose is to increase the possibilities of literature exchange by giving the participants a deeper knowledge of the Swedish book market, the books and the people behind them.
Currently, we organise two fellowships for publishers – one in Gothenburg and one in Stockholm. Each year, there is a different theme, it could be fiction, nonfiction, children’s and Y/A or something else.
The Stockholm Publishing Fellowship does not have a fixed date. This year the program will start on November 5, ending on November 8. We will send out an open call by e-mail as soon as we open up for applications.
From time to time we organise bilateral fellowships with our colleagues in other countries. This year, for example, we organise a fellowship exchange together with the Dutch Foundation for Literature, where a group of Swedish children's and Y/A publishers will visit Amsterdam in May and a group of Dutch children's and Y/A publishers will visit Stockholm in June.
The Gothenburg Book Fair Fellowship takes place at the same time as the Gothenburg Book Fair, in September. Information about the focus of the year is announced on our website in January, and the application usually opens in mid-February.
