Easter Holidays in NORLA
Our office is closed for the Easter holidays as of Monday, April 14. We will be back on Tuesday, April 22.
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.

NORLA aims to recruit more translators of Norwegian Literature. We look forward to welcoming interested participants to take part in our seminar for new translators, which will be held in Oslo from April 23-26, 2025.
NORLA annually hands out an award to a talented emerging translator of Norwegian literature. The award is given for translations directly from Norwegian as an encouragement towards continued efforts.
The 2025 award will be given to a translator of fiction.
We would very much like to hear from you about deserving candidates!
