Queens Council on the Arts is now accepting submissions for the first annual Queens in Love with Literature Translation Award for a full-length book of poetry or a novella. The winner will receive a sum of money in support of the completion of the translated work and Queens Council on the Arts will help the winner find a press interested in publishing the translation. The QUILL Translation Award is funded by the New York State Council on the Arts.
Translations may be from any language into English and the work submitted must be a current work in progress, to be completed within one year of receipt of the award.
Preference will be given to works that have not been previously translated. Previously translated works will be considered, but applicants should include an explanation for why they are proposing a new translation.
