Recent submission calls — for translators — that we’ve run across:
Tripwire Journal’s Microgrants
They write:
Now that the calendric pressure point for donation-asks has passed, and you’re (perhaps) onto your 2016 ledger, please consider supporting the Tripwire Microgrants for Translation. Translation plays one of the most critical and vital roles in international literatures, but too often translators go unrecognized and unsupported. The Tripwire Microgrants for Translation are designed to provide support and recognition for translators of contemporary avant-garde and experimental writing. Please donate what you can?even the smallest amount will add up. (and translators: please contact me with any proposals and/or new work!)
Find out more about how you can donate to or draw from the fund.
Any donation of $30 or more will receive a copy of Tripwire #9 (“Transnational/Translational”).
