NORLA is once again looking forward to participating in the Bologna Children’s Book Fair in Italy, where the Norwegian book industry will be assembled on one stand.
You are welcome to visit us in Hall 30, A10/B9!
Please contact us if you would like to arrange a meeting.
We look forward to starting the countdown to 2026, when Norway will be Guest of Honour at the book fair.
NORLA aims to recruit more translators of Norwegian Literature. We look forward to welcoming interested participants to take part in our seminar for new translators, which will be held in Oslo from April 23-26, 2025.
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 2025 award will be given to a translator of fiction.
We would very much like to hear from you about deserving candidates!
