NORLA and Norwegian authors at the Beijing Book Fair

We are looking forward to attending the book fair in Beijing also this year, in collaboration with our sister organizations from Sweden, Denmark and Finland (NordLit). You will find us at stand no. E1.C10.
Please contact us if you would like to schedule a meeting.

Three literary agents and one publisher have received travel grants from NORLA to visit the book fair. NORLA has also provided funding for the project «China meets Norway in a bookshelf», which will take place in Meridian Space in Beijing during the book fair.
One of the organizers behind the project, Mr. Ben Yu, is NORLA’s Translator of the Month for August. Read more about him here.

See also NORLA’s selected titles which we will present for publishers during the fair, in English and Chinese.

You can see the beautiful covers of Norwegian books published in Chinese through translation subsidies from NORLA (since 2011) here.
