Suomen kirjallisuusvienti kasvoi vuonna 2021 neljällä prosentilla. Tätä voi pitää työvoittona pandemia-aikoina. Vientitulot ylsivät lähes 3,7 miljoonaan euroon. Kirjallisuuden vientikeskus FILI teettää vuosittain selvityksen kirjallisuusviennin arvosta.

FILI on jo vuosia lahjoittanut säännöllisesti Monikieliselle kirjastolle Suomen kirjallisuuden käännöksiä, sodan alettua annoimme koko ukrainankielisen kokoelmamme. Toivottavasti muutkin pystyvät auttamaan!

We were finally able to host an #editorsweek, our fellowship programme for #publishers. Our guest @k_a_farrell wrote about her visit. #Finnishliterature #fellowshipforpublishers #visithelsinki #finland – at Helsinki, Finland
After a terrific week as a guest of @FinnishLit I’ve put together a post about the experience and the importance of international literature. Read it here: sandstonepress.com/blog/2022…
Once again. What can we say. We Finns tend to be skeptical when it comes to this! 😅

This was so funny! Our Norwegian translator Tor Tveite teaches Finnish in a Norwegian prime time tv show ("language show", love the concept). #tortveite #translators #Finnishlanguage
📺 🇫🇮 Fikk du med deg denne episoden av Linda Eides språksjov?
Tor Tveite, en ekte ridder av Finlands hvite roses orden, forteller om finsk og hvorfor finske ord kan bli så lange.
Hele episoden kan ses her:
