Editors from Seren Books and Parthian will visit the Basque country to get an insight into the book market and literary culture in the region between December 5th – 8th 2014.

The visit, organized by our sister organization, Literature Across Frontiers, aims to introduce a group of UK literary publishers to the Basque literary scene. Richard Davies (Parthian), Penny Thomas (Seren Books) and cultural journalist Maya Jaggi will join editors from Comma Press, MacLehose Press, and Peter Owen Publishers and meet Basque publishers, translators, writers and booksellers.

Hosted by the Etxepare Institute, the hope is that the visit will lead to the publication of new quality Basque literature in translation in Wales and the UK.
