New Voices Authors to book trade meeting in The Hague

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.

At a book trade meeting in The Hague, New Voices authors Julia Kahrs and Cathrine Sandmæl will give presentations. In addition, Norwegian agents will have the opportunity to meet with representatives from the Dutch publishing industry.

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