International Publishers on a Fellowship for Norwegian Non-Fiction

How can international interest in Norwegian non-fiction be strengthened? That was the starting point when NORLA invited eight publishers from eight countries to Oslo. A packed programme gave the participants the opportunity to discover new authors, build professional networks and establish connections across borders.

NORLA offers a number of application-based schemes that promote Norwegian literature on the international market.

For translators

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.

For agents and publishers

Do you represent one or more authors from Norway? Both Norwegian agents and foreign publishers can apply for our grant schemes.

For organisers

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.
