Norway to be Guest of Honour at Leipzig Book Fair 2025
Norway has been offered the opportunity to be Guest of Honour at Leipzig Book Fair 2025. This is a golden chance for Norwegian literature in its breadth to reach German readers. Together with the fair the literature festival Leipzig Reads will be happening, filling the city with 3000 events in 350 different venues throughout four days. This makes the festival the biggest of its kind in Europe, placing the joy of reading and the audience in the foreground.

Wendy H. Gabrielsen - Translator of the Month for February
Originally from London, Wendy H. Gabrielsen moved to Oslo after completing an MA in translation in 1987, and was lucky enough to translate her first two Norwegian books just two years later. After getting “sidetracked” teaching English for a couple of decades, she resigned from the French School in Oslo in 2020 and has since returned to translating and copy editing full time.
Poem of the Week. 52 poems through the year
Poem of the Week is back!
In 2019, NORLA launched the project, Poem of the Week, 52 poems throughout the year, in connection with Norway being Guest of Honour at the Frankfurter Buchmesse, where modern and older poetry was presented every week to an attentive international audience.
We are now continuing our focus on poetry with a new series, Poem of the Week, which, as it did last time, follows a narrative linked to the seasons. The selection is made by Annette Vonberg.
