Circulation of European Literary Works

The Circulation of European Literary Works call action aims to support around 40 projects implemented either by a single entity (mono-beneficiary) or by a consortium of organisations (multi-beneficiary). Each project should aim to:

• Promote the diversity of literature in the target country (or countries) by including works of fiction from countries that are under-represented, and in particular, works written in lesser used languages.

• Support the profession of literary translator, and respect the principle of fair remuneration.

• Propose the most effective distribution and promotion strategies, and the most appropriate book format, in order to ensure wide and easy access to European literary works and to contribute to the development of the readership of European literature.

• Encourage collaboration between different actors of the book value chain: authors, translators, publishers, distributors, booksellers, libraries, literary events, or festivals.

• Contribute to the EU overarching priorities.
