The butterfly effect of translation

It all starts with a good book. Then a translator, writer or publisher is inspired to see it translated. Suddenly, thousands of readers discover another side of Canadian literature.

The Canada Council gives Canadian publishers the opportunity to enrich their lists through its Book Publishing Support: Translation Grants program. As well, travel subsidies give them wings to realize their projects.

If you are a Canadian author or translator and are interested in the program, contact a publisher and tell them about it.

Before taking flight

First off, you need to find a good book. Next, you need excellent collaborators for your project. We suggest several lists of websites to help you find partners for your project. 

Consult our lists of websites for links to Canadian publishers, Regional Associations, National Arts Service Organizations, Prizes and Trade Magazines.

Eligible Canadian publishers can request a travel subsidy in order to meet potential collaborators.
