Publishing Scotland’s fund supports translation of Scottish writings by international publishers, and has opened a new application round.

Deadline for This Round of Applications: August 12

Among international translation funds, the Publishing Scotland program has long been familiar to Publishing Perspectives readers.

The program offers financial support for the translation of Scottish books into other languages, and publishers outside the United Kingdom are eligible. Funding is offered in the form of a grant, and it’s for translation costs only.

Today (June 6), the fund’s administrators have notified us that they’re opening the first round of applications in their 2024-’25 sequence.

Launched in 2015, the translation fund has facilitated the translation of Scottish works into dozens of languages, including Ukrainian, Hebrew, Spanish, Dutch, Hungarian, Portuguese, German, Simple Chinese, and Georgian. The offices ‘ personnel in Edinburgh point out that as the fund’s popularity has grown, it has continued to provide funding to international publishing houses and literary agents interested in Scottish writings.
