The grant will help support Open Letter&#8217;s efforts to publish and promote translated works by emerging international authors from Argentina, Russia, Chile, Israel, Bulgaria, and France.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This grant will allow us to further expand our mission of introducing English readers to underrepresented and as-of-yet undiscovered international authors,&#8221; said Open Letter publisher Chad W. Post. &#8220;The ten titles Open Letter will be publishing in 2014 represent eight languages, and three are contemporary prose works from authors who have never before been published in English.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to NEA Senior Deputy Chairman Joan Shigekawa, the projects funded through NEA grants &#8220;all contribute to vibrant communities and memorable experiences for the public to engage with the arts.&#8221;\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/arts.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/Art-Works-grants-by-discipline-12-11-13.pdf\">A complete listing of projects<\/a>\u00a0recommended for Art Works grant support can be found on the NEA website at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/arts.gov\/\">www.arts.gov.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Open Letter is one of only a handful of presses in the U.S. devoted solely to works in translation, which represent fewer than 3 percent of books published in the United States.
