ScrittureGiovani - a European Literary Project

ScrittureGiovani is the newest slice of European literature projects. Five writers, five different countries, five short stories, one theme - the focus is on young literary talents, they write over at Cafebabel.

WANTED: poet or novelist under 32. Must have written at least one work, as yet untranslated, and be ready for European tour. Destinations: Mantua, Berlin, Hay-on-Wye and Molde.

‘It's been widely anticipated by the public, and it's also a chance for young writers to make themselves known abroad,’ explains Marella Paramatti, committee member of the famous Italian festival. ‘Each festival chooses an author that will take part in the project,’ she adds. As well as the four selected by the festivals, a fifth writer is picked from a different country.


Thanks Erkan.
