Wales Literature Exchange

Description

Wales Literature Exchange was established more than twenty years ago with the aim of creating a platform for promotion of the best literature of Wales abroad and contributing to the internationalisation of the literary scene at home.

Their motto is ‘Translating Wales, Reading the World’ and members cooperate with the sister organisation Literature Across Frontiers and many other partners to shine a spotlight on the diverse, bilingual literary landscape of Wales and provide opportunities for Welsh authors to become known beyond Wales' borders, for publishers to connect with each other and for translators to continue developing their skills.

Wales Literature Exchange is committed to literary exchange and translation as necessary elements in a delicate cultural ecology. Members celebrate the linguistic diversity that exists in the world today and are determined to contribute to its sustainability and development. They believe that respect for languages and for translation are at the heart of international cultural exchange.
