From December 1-4, NORLA and the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Mexico will once again be present with a stand at the Guadalajara Book Fair in Mexico, which is the world’s largest Spanish-speaking book fair.
Munch Publishing will participate by presenting its books on Edvard Munch and by networking in Mexico. The publisher Camino Forlag, which publishes a significant amount of Latin American literature, will also attend the book fair.
Author Marta Breen has been invited by the book fair and will travel to both Guadalajara and Mexico City. She will first head to Mexico City, to take part in events at a university, a bookstore, and at the Royal Norwegian Embassy.
In Guadalajara, Breen will meet with the public at the book fair and also visit a local school.
NORLA is looking forward to gathering ten translators of Norwegian literature in Lillehammer, as we do annually for the Norwegian Festival of Literature / Sigrid Undset Days on June 3-6.
This year the festival is celebrating its 30th anniversary, and the theme of the program is Sápmi.
The festival runs from June 2 through June 8.
Norway will be Guest of Honour at the Bologna Children´s Book Fair in 2026. NORLA invites foreign publishers and editors of children and YA literature to apply for our fellowship program, which this year will take place in Oslo from June 10 -13. The fellowship will focus on Norwegian children & YA literature. On the program will be visits to Norwegian publishing houses, presentations by Norwegian authors, meetings with literary agents, as well as an extensive social program in Oslo.
NORLA administrates the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ scheme for travel grants for authors and lecturers who will visit institutions of higher learning abroad where instruction is given in the Norwegian language.
