We look forward to welcoming a new group of translators to our Translator Hotel at Bondeheimen in Oslo, where they will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in Norwegian literature, language, and culture.
The spring session will take place from May 12–25, with four available spots.
The Writers’ Guild of Norway (in Norwegian: Dramatikerforbundet) may award grants for the translation of Norwegian dramatic works to other languages. The primary purpose of the grant scheme is to contribute to the presentation/production of Norwegian drama abroad.
Please note that there are new application deadlines in 2025, with three deadlines in total, for Norwegian books in all genres:
1 February, 1 June and 1 October.
