Project summary

The residency programme aims to increase the visibility of emerging authors on the international stage and promote intercultural dialogue. It's a collaboration between Festival Fabula, Krokodil Literary Festival and Festival Fusnota, and aims to bridge the gaps in inter-festival co-operation in the Balkans and Southern Europe. It promotes regional literary exchange and welcomes European prose writers, facilitating greater appreciation of the region's literary contributions. Participants embark on a three-part residency, attending all the festivals, participating in themed workshops and receiving test translations of their work, with the book published at Fabula. Throughout the programme, writers interact with local artists, deliver lectures, and gain invaluable skills for their growth.
