Translation Fund for Literature

Creative Australia’s Translation Fund for Literature contributes towards the cost of translating Australian works of creative writing, with two funding rounds available each year.

About the program

International publishers may apply for a contribution towards the translation of Australian works of creative writing, and a contribution towards promotion of the translated work.

• The work must be authored by an Australian citizen or an Australian permanent resident.
• Funding must be used to pay the rights holder and translator.
• Australian publishers may also apply to support the translation and promotion of foreign language works, provided the translator is an Australian citizen or permanent resident.
• Investments of AUD $5,000 or $10,000 per successful applicant are available.
