Amazon.com Awards Grant to PEN American Center
PEN American Center, part of a worldwide association that defends persecuted writers, has been awarded a $25,000 grant from online bookseller Amazon.com to further develop its online communication resources and fund efforts to protect freedom of expression.
Specifically, the grant will support “PEN’s international Freedom to Write human rights programming, its national Campaign for Core Freedoms, and the dissemination of PEN’s political and literary public events,” PEN said in a press release. Some of the money will be allocated to the six-year-old PEN Translation Fund, which promotes the publication and reception of translated world literature in English.
