For 12 year in a row, the Skopje Fellowship Program will take place in Skopje, during the International Literature Festival PRO-ZA Balkan ( 21-23 September 2025).
15 publishers, editors, and book professionals from Europe will have the opportunity to wire with publishers from North Macedonia, learn more about the market, and meet the writers participating in the PRO-ZA Balkan Festival. 7 publishers, editors and book professionals are being selected from the partners of the project “Our Little Library”, and 8 additional publishers will be selected. The criteria for successful application (preferably, but not exclusively) will be that the publishers come from bigger language areas from Europe and that they buy rights.
The program will run from 21 to 23 September 2025, with fellows expected to attend all three days, arriving on the 21st and leaving on the 24th. Fellows will be selected on the basis of their alignment with the fellowship’s goals and their proven track record.
This edition of Skopje Fellowship Program will be organized as part of the “Our Little Library” project, co-funded by the EACEA.
Deadline for applying: 5 June 2025.
