German bookstores to Norway
Representatives from 11 German bookstores are coming to Norway at the beginning of September to learn more about Norwegian literature before the Guest of Honour initiative in Frankfurt in 2019.
The group consist of a good mix of large and small outlets, online bookshops, children’s books, the German Association of Bookshops and a representative from German distributors KNV. During the visit, they will meet authors and Norwegian bookstores, and be given an introduction to the Norwegian literary system.
The visits take place in collaboration with the Norwegian Booksellers Association and Börsenverein des Deutschen Buchhandels.

Norway is the Guest of Honour at the Bologna Children’s and Young Adult Book Fair
We are very pleased that Norway will be the Guest of Honour at the world’s largest children’s and young adult book fair, the Bologna Children’s Book Fair, in 2026. Norwegian children’s and young adult literature is rich in both expression and genres and addresses a wide range of themes that engage readers of all ages. The Guest of Honour programme offers a unique opportunity to showcase this breadth and bring our stories to the world.
