Every spring and autumn, NORLA chooses its Selected Titles; a slice of this year’s books from fiction, non-fiction and literature for children and young adults. The selection is normally presented in connection with book fairs in which NORLA participates, as well as on our website and in our newsletters. The target groups are international book trade contacts, mainly publishers and translators.
