Fiction publishers to Norway

NORLA received the sixth group of international publishers who were in Norway to be introduced to Norwegian writers and the Norwegian book industry. This time we invited publishers from the Netherlands, Switzerland and Germany. The publishers saw a large number of presentations and returned home with many positive impressions and experiences – inspired to discover new authors.
