NORLA’s Translators Hotel is back!

NORLA offers a number of application-based schemes that promote Norwegian literature on the international market.

For translators

Do you translate from Norwegian to another language? Here you can find a number of grant schemes, for both direct translations and skills development for translators.

For agents and publishers

Do you represent one or more authors from Norway? Both Norwegian agents and foreign publishers can apply for our grant schemes.

Are you organising a literature festival or conference abroad? If so you can apply for a grant to invite Norwegian authors and lecturers from Norway to your events. This also applies to universities that teach Norwegian subjects.
