About the project

LIT-UP (Strategies to Support Languages Equality Through Literature) is a Creative Europe project born from an uncomfortable reality: the European publishing industry generates €22.4 billion in revenue, yet the five largest markets — the UK, Germany, France, Spain and Italy — concentrate almost all production in major languages, leaving publishers and authors working in minority or lesser-used languages in a critical position of survival.

Over three years, a consortium of eight organisations from across Europe — publishers, literary networks and a communication agency — developed competitive strategies to empower publishers and authors working in Valencian, Basque, Galician, Frisian, Slovenian, Serbian and Sardinian against the dominant players in the global market. The project structured its methodology around three pillars: professional skills development, creation of transnational commercial networks, and strengthening of sector intermediary agents.

Throughout the project, more than 300 participants from across Europe accessed four online training modules, nine international events, six specialised workshops and a final congress, building presence at the most relevant book fairs for European minority languages.

Three key project milestones

1. Online training platform with 4 specialised modules Design, development and management of a dedicated Moodle platform with four training programmes for publishers and authors in minority languages: management of international book fairs, literary promotional events, rights management and foreign rights negotiation. Between 45 and 60 participants per module. 🔗 Moodle Platform · Training materials

2. Presence at 9 international book fairs and literary festivals The project participated actively in the most relevant events for European minority languages: Durango, Ljubljana, Torino, Leeuwarden, Krokodil, Galeusca, Reku Reku, BABA KAMO and Plaça del Llibre, building a transnational network among publishers, authors and literary agents from across Europe. 🔗 Activities and festivals

3. Final congress and recommendations guide for international literary promotion At the project’s close, the consortium published a guide of recommendations drawn from the workshops and the final congress conclusions, with replicable strategies for the international promotion of literature in minority languages. 🔗 D4.1 Recommendations guide · D4.2 Congress conclusions
