In response to the severe lack of representation in British and Welsh literature, Lily Translates has proposed a short-term solution which aims to directly resolve such problems and immediately begin to diversify Welsh literature, while we wait for more Black Welsh authors and other marginalised Welsh writers to emerge. In collaboration with Mudiad Meithrin, the Lily Translates AwDuron Fund has been set up to support Black British children’s authors, BAME and other underrepresented writers to establish their books as Welsh literature by translating into the Welsh language.
In what is considered to be, the greatest effort to diversify Welsh literature to date, funds raised will help fully cover the Welsh translation fee and partly contributes printing costs. The Lily Translates AwDuron Fund aims to bring to the market, 10 new, Welsh language children’s books written by underrepresented authors, by Christmas!
