Translation
Registration deadline: January
22, 2010 Support for translators' fees is available for the completion of literary translations into English. Accuracy and literary quality of the translation are paramount criteria in this category. Grants in this category range from $2,500 to $10,000. Preference is given to work that has a commitment for publication from a New York State literary publisher or of public performance by a New York State theatre or literary presenter. Priority is given to translators who are New York State residents. Completed projects are ineligible for funding. Note: Applications in this category go directly to panel and are not subject to staff review. Individuals cannot directly apply for Council funding;
each literary translation request is sponsored by a nonprofit
organization. Fiscal sponsors of literary translation applications may
take a fee of no more than 5% of the grant, provided they are
presenting a public program featuring the funded translator. The
Program recommends that potential applicants see a model translator's
contract and a copy of "Handbook for Literary Translators " compiled by
PEN Translation Committee, 588 Broadway (Suite 303), New York, NY
