Mission Statement
Words Without Borders cultivates cultural awareness by expanding access to contemporary international writing.
About This Cause
Founded in 2003, Words Without Borders fosters cultural understanding through the translation, publication, and promotion of the finest contemporary international literature. Our publications and programs open doors for readers of English around the world to the multiplicity of viewpoints, richness of experience, and literary perspective on world events offered by writers in other languages. We seek to connect international writers to the general public, to students and educators, and to print and other media and to serve as a primary online location for a global literary conversation. Every month we publish eight to twelve new works by international writers. We have published works by Nobel Prize laureates J.M.G. Le Clézio and Herta Müller and noted writers Mahmoud Darwish, Etgar Keret, Per Petterson, Fadhil Al-Azzawi, W.G. Sebald, and Can Xue, as well as many new and rising international writers. To date we have published well over 2,500 pieces from 133 countries and 112 languages. In 2014, Words Without Borders founded an education program that provides educators with resources and content to more readily incorporate contemporary international literature into their classes. The program, Words Without Borders Campus, includes a second Web site (wwb-campus.org). We hope that in reaching out to students we can create a passion for international literature, a curiosity about other cultures, and inspire true world citizens.
