The intriguing title Finnish-Norwegian agent exchange is not the name on a novel by Le Carré, but a cooperating project between NORLA and FILI – Finnish Literature Exchange. Norwegian literary agents can apply for a two days stay in Helsinki, where they can meet Finnish publishers who are interested in Norwegian books. Finnish agents can go on a similar trip to Oslo.
The visit in Helsinki will take place on June 11-12, the visit in Oslo on June 14-15.
On 16–19 September, NORLA will host a delegation of Italian industry and media representatives in the run-up to Norway’s Guest of Honour appearance at the Bologna Children’s Book Fair in 2026.
The delegation will get to know Norwegian children’s and young adult authors and illustrators, gain an introduction to the Norwegian children’s and YA literature landscape, and build networks for future cooperation.
