About this role
Vacancy: Advisors with Knowledge of the Literary or Cultural Sector for Caribe Literature The Dutch Foundation for Literature is the public fund for literature in Dutch, Frisian, Papiamentu and Dutch Sign Language. The Foundation supports writers, translators, publishers and literary organisations, thereby promoting the quality, diversity and visibility of Dutch literature both in the Netherlands and abroad. Grant applications submitted to the Dutch Foundation for Literature are assessed by independent advisors. These are experts from the cultural sector with expertise in areas such as literature, language, translation and reading promotion, as well as governance, communication strategy, AI and finance. Advisors assess grant applications independently, carefully and with professional expertise. The advisors currently working for the fund also work, for example, as writers, literary scholars, translators, journalists or creative strategists. Would you be interested in having a say in the many projects that the fund makes possible? If so, we warmly invite you to apply. What will you do? As an advisor to the Foundation, you help determine which new (translated) literary works will be published and which literary projects or festivals will receive support. You assess books and/or project proposals according to established criteria and write reports on your findings. All applications and assessments are discussed with fellow advisors during meetings facilitated by the Foundation's grant specialists. For some grant schemes, attending meetings is not required, and advisors provide individual written recommendations instead. You will receive compensation for your work in accordance with the Foundation's fee regulations, as well as a preparation allowance for each meeting. Advisors are appointed for a minimum of two years and a maximum of four years and become members of the Dutch Foundation for Literature's Advisory Council. Caribe ...
