  3. Promotion of the internationalization of Spanish writers. 
    Aimed preferably at authors who have participated in the initiatives, among others, "10 of 30: New Spanish Narrative" or "Granta: The Best Young Narrators in Spanish", with the aim of having their works translated into English and published in the U.S.A.
