Literary greetings from Iceland!

We hope that all is well with you!

An important element of the Icelandic Literature Center´s promotional activities is participation in the major book fairs, in London, Frankfurt, Bologna, Gothenburg and elsewhere, which we have been unable to attend this year due to Covid-19.

But we are continuing our work undaunted, and we would like to tell you about the grants we offer, and the Center’s other activities.
Every year the Icelandic Literature Center publishes Books from Iceland, a promotional brochure in English, presenting information about a wide range of literary works published in Iceland over the previous year – as well as various prizes and awards, and other useful information.

Please take a look!

If you would like a print copy, just let us know!


Icelandic Literature Center grants Icelandic Literature Center Read about our grants The Icelandic Literature Center also has various grants at its disposal, such as translation grants for publishers abroad.

We want to point out especially that, in view of the coronavirus pandemic, the Nordic literature centres, NordLit, have formulated a joint policy that in 2020 Nordic translation grants will cover 50% of translation costs.

This step has been taken in order to encourage publishers around the world to continue to translate and publish Nordic fiction, academic works, books of general interest and books for children and young readers.

The next deadline for applications for translations from Icelandic is 15 September.

And we also want to direct you to our Translators page, where you can find translators from Icelandic into a large range of languages.
If you have any questions, or would like further information on Icelandic literature, writers, publishers or grants, we would love to hear from you!
