Hooray for the 15th season at NORLA's Translators Hotel!
This week, we have warmly welcomed five translators to Oslo for a two-week stay at Hotel Bondeheimen, our Translators Hotel.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
