Ten non-fiction publishers from the UK and USA will visit Amsterdam, upon invitation of the Dutch Foundation for Literature. From 12-14 November they will be introduced to the Dutch field of non-fiction writing, meeting many publishers and writers. The Amsterdam Fellowship is an annual programme in which the Foundation invites international literary editors to come and meet their Dutch colleagues and familiarise themselves with Dutch literature.
The fellows are:
Laura Stickney - Penguin Press
Jack Ramm - Viking
Joe Calamia - Yale University Press
Nicholas Pearson - 4th Estate
Leo Hollis - Verso
Andrew Franklin - Profile Books
Juliet Brooke - Sceptre
Joanna Godfrey - IB Tauris
Courtney Young - Riverhead Books USA
Sarah Rigby - Hutchinson
The Dutch Foundation for Literature aims to organize a literary campaign in the UK and USA in 2020. In September a group of UK and USA-based fiction editors and publishers visited Amsterdam; a poetry and children’s books fellowship will follow in December and at the start of 2019.
