This year we are looking forward in particular to the Frankfurt Book Fair, since the countdown for Norway as the fair’s Guest of Honour nation in 2019 has begun!
We will also be celebrating NORLA’s 25th participation at the Frankfurt Book Fair.
This year is also the first time the entire Norwegian book industry will be gathered at one large, joint stand at the book fair.
See all praticipants from Norway here.
And see a presentation of all members of the Norwegian Publishers’ Association website.
Welcome to Hall 5.0 A57!
Please contact us if you would like to schedule a meeting.
NORLA will be accompanied by colleagues from the network Norwegian Arts Abroad and other close collaborating partners. Together we will make many contacts in the field of German literature and the German cultural environment, enabling us to showcase a magnificent presentation of Norwegian literature and culture in Frankfurt in 2019.
