Strategies to support languages equality through literature (LIT-UP)

The main objective of LIT-UP is to define and implement competitive strategies to empower publishers and authors working with less used languages in front of big players in a global context.

Strategies defined will try to help publishers and authors participating in the project to compete with real opportunities of survival against big languages and players working in their own markets.

This general objective will be broken down in 3 operative objectives:
1. Develop the necessary skills to compete internationally.
2. Establish a network of publishers and authors in Europe to build commercial relationships and let publishers and authors meet new literatures, new business models, and new market opportunities to increase the size and the profitability of their portfolio based on a calendar of events.
3. Establish a network of intermediate agents to support publishers and authors that will be based on the share of successful experiences and the evaluation in common of challenges and opportunities to develop the industry and to promote literary works abroad. The celebration of different events during project implementation in different countries will let participants take part in events such as workshops or congresses organised by local partners and dealing with different challenges and opportunities in the publishing industry and the source of long term relationship of cooperation in future events overpassing the end of this project. There is also a cultural objective in the project as the mobility of authors and publishers during project events will let establish relationships, meet counterparts in other countries and preserve the literary heritage of Europe that represents independent literature and literature in lesser used languages.
