NORLA's Translator’s Pastry Shop, October 13
In October, we will be announcing this autumn’s selected titles. And at the translator’s pastry shop this time you will get first-hand knowledge of these books, as well as meet colleagues and NORLA staff.
We invite you to three different digital pastry shops: for fiction, non-fiction, and children and young adult’s literature respectively (it is only possible to choose one genre).
Wednesday, October 13 at 15:00 (Norwegian time)
There is a limited number of places, so in the event of there being very high demand names will be drawn by lottery.
Welcome to the literary pastry shop!
