German language publishers visit Norway

On 4–7 September twelve publishers within the fields of non-fiction, fiction and literature for children and young people from Germany, Austria and Switzerland will visit Norway. They will be familiarizing themselves with the Norwegian book world and meet with authors – including the participants in NORLA’s program New Voices – editors and agents.

The group is the fifth visiting delegation to visit Norway so far this year and we are looking forward to an exciting and varied programme in Oslo.
