New Voices Authors at a book trade meeting in Madrid

The participants in NORLA’s New Voices program will this autumn put into practice what they have learned during the workshops, and meet publishers and/or readers in real life. The goal is to support the sale and dissemination of their books into more languages – on the way to Bologna.

In connection with the Liber Book Fair in Madrid, NORLA is hosting a book trade meeting featuring presentations by New Voices authors Kristine Rui Slettebakken and Fabian Christensen. In addition, Norwegian agents will meet with representatives from the Spanish publishing industry.

The event is organized in collaboration with the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Madrid.
