NORLA, Norwegian Literature Abroad, is the organisation that initiated and organised Norway’s Guest of Honour project on behalf of the Norwegian Government.
NORLA is an organisation that promotes the export of Norwegian literature through active promotional work and translation subsidies. The organisation disseminates knowledge about Norwegian books and authors abroad, and is financed by the Norwegian Ministry of Culture and supported by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. NORLA was founded in 1978, and since 2004 has contributed to translations of close to 5,200 Norwegian books into no fewer than 65 languages.
NORLA offers a range of funding schemes, all of which are aimed at promoting the translation of Norwegian books. Please visit NORLA’s website for more information about NORLA and its work.
