NORLA’s talent program, New Voices for Children and Young Adults, is aimed at Norwegian authors writing fiction and non-fiction for young readers, and its goal is to provide emerging authors with international experience through travel, networking, and a deeper understanding of the outward-facing aspects of being a writer. Nine authors and illustrators participate in the program, which runs from May 2025 until the Bologna Children’s Book Fair in April 2026.
