German fiction publishers to Norway

A group of ten German fiction publishers will visit Norway June 7 – 10, to become even better aquainted with the Norwegian book industry. The publishers will meet a number of authors, editors and literary agents, and they will also join in on the last section of the The Literature Train (“Litteraturtoget”) hosted by Her Royal Highness The Crown Princess Mette-Marit.

We look forward to welcoming our guests to Norway, and to an exciting programme both in Oslo and Kristiansand!
