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.

NORLA wishes to contribute to the recruitment of more translators of Norwegian literature. We invite interested candidates to apply for a seminar for new translators, to be held in Oslo from 22–25 April 2026.
NORLA annually hands out an award to a talented emerging translator of Norwegian literature. The award is given for translations directly from Norwegian as an encouragement towards continued efforts.
The 2026 award will be given to a translator of non-fiction.
We would very much like to hear from you about deserving candidates!
We look forward to welcoming up to five translators of Norwegian literature to Oslo, to stay at our Translator Hotel, May 11-24.
Please note that the offer is only available for translators who translate directly from Norwegian, and who have translated at least two titles.
