Application deadline: NORLA's (digital) translator’s pastry shop

Please note that this brand new service is open to translators from Norwegian only.
Application deadline is Monday June 14th, at 12:00 (Norwegian time).

The translator’s pastry shop will open on Wednesday 23 June, at 15 (Norwegian time) to translators from Norwegian. It will be an informal, hour-long meeting, held once a month on Zoom, where we will eat something nice together that each participant has baked for themselves.

Our goal is to create a friendly forum for collegial meetings and professional exchange – a place that offers something a bit different to a regular seminar. We are also planning on trying out new formats.

Participants will meet other Norwegian translators and the groups will be kept small so that everyone can get to know each other properly.

We have up to 16 places, but names will be selected by a lottery if there is a lot of interest.

All pastry shop guests will receive a Zoom link and a simple recipe for that month’s pastry in advance. (Baking is optional)

Welcome to the translator’s pastry shop!

Note that the offer only applies to translators from Norwegian

New Voices Authors at a book trade meeting in Krakow

The participants in NORLA’s New Voices program will this autumn put into practice what they have learned during the workshops, and meet publishers and/or readers in real life. The goal is to support the sale and dissemination of their books into more languages – on the way to Bologna.

During the International Book Fair in Krakow, NORLA is hosting a book trade meeting featuring presentations by New Voices authors Arne Lindmo, Gøril Sæther, and Pernille Radeid. In addition, Norwegian agents will meet with representatives from the Polish publishing industry.

The event is organized in collaboration with the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Warsaw.
