NORLA and Norwegian authors to attend book fair in Guadalajara, Mexico

The book fair in Guadalajara is the largest in the Spanish speaking world − and on the whole, one of the most pleasantly enjoyable fairs. NORLA will take part in the Guadalajara International Book Fair, as we have done the past two years, along with some of our Nordic sister organizations.
Please contact us if you would like to schedule a meeting. You will find NORLA at the foreign rights centre, table 99.

This year, two Norwegian authors will also be joining us in Guadalajara: Simon Stranger and Carl Frode Tiller. Stranger’s novel for adolescents Barsakh will be published by the Mexican publisher Nostra Ediciones / Panorama Editorial, translated by Pablo Osorio, and the first volume of Tiller’s trilogy Innsirkling (Encirclement) will be published by the Spanish publisher Sajalín Editores S.L, translated by Cristina Gómez Baggethun.
The Norwegian literary agency, Oslo Literary Agency, will also be taking part in the fair and will be present at the foreign rights centre, table 121.

New Voices Authors at a book trade meeting in Krakow

The participants in NORLA’s New Voices program will this autumn put into practice what they have learned during the workshops, and meet publishers and/or readers in real life. The goal is to support the sale and dissemination of their books into more languages – on the way to Bologna.

During the International Book Fair in Krakow, NORLA is hosting a book trade meeting featuring presentations by New Voices authors Arne Lindmo, Gøril Sæther, and Pernille Radeid. In addition, Norwegian agents will meet with representatives from the Polish publishing industry.

The event is organized in collaboration with the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Warsaw.
