How do European books find their way to American readers? An afternoon of conversation and exchange brought European authors and translators together with members of the U.S. literary community as part of European Literature Night 2026.
The professional gathering explored the journey from discovering a new literary voice to bringing a book to market, with translation, publishing rights, funding, and reaching U.S. audiences at the center of the conversation. European cultural organizations also shared information about translation grants and other support available to publishers.
Short talks and informal conversations over coffee offered space to exchange perspectives, discover new writers, and make connections across the Atlantic.
