Sveriges Författarfond

Bidrag för internationellt utbyte/resa

Sveriges författarfond (Swedish Authors' Fund) offers grants for international exchange and travel to stimulate international presence and promote literary and artistic development through various international influences. The grants support active professional literary creators including authors, playwrights, illustrators, photographers, cultural journalists, and translators who write in Swedish, translate to Swedish, or are permanently resident in Sweden. The fund prioritizes collaborations across language or cultural borders with other literary or artistically active individuals, or active participation in events such as festivals, seminars, and workshops. Grants are also provided for international travel for work or study purposes where the purpose is clearly defined and the trip is expected to provide international influences of significance for the applicant's literary professional activity. The focus is on the international exchange's importance for the literary or artistic activity itself, promoting artistic depth or development. Applications can include invitations of foreign authors, translators, or artists for work at domestic residencies or other contexts, with emphasis on collaborations and exchanges. Decisions are made normally within two weeks after each deadline.
