Once a UK, or other, publisher has acquired the translation rights to a work of literature by a German writer, and a contract has been signed between the publisher and a translator, the publisher can apply to the Goethe-Institut for a translation grant. An independent committee will decide on the application and, where appropriate, on the amount of financial support.
Next meetings: July and October 2010. Special arrangements are in place for English-language translation grant applications for titles featured in New Books in German: applications can be submitted at any time of year and are guaranteed a translation grant of at least 50 % in the majority of cases. Applications should be submitted to the Goethe-Institut in your country. The local Goethe-Institut will then check whether your application is complete and pass it on to the Goethe-Institut's head office in Munich with their comments.
The form to be filled out for these applications is available at the following webpage which has much useful information in English:www.goethe.de/uun/ang/ueb/uea/bew/enindex.htm Contact person in London’s Goethe-Institut:Elisabeth Pyroth
