About the New Voices programme
In the years leading up to 2019 and in 2019 a number of new writers participate in a development programme that focuses on the international dimensions of the writing profession. The programme is for writers from all genres, fiction, non-fiction, and literature for children and young adults.
The programme is not intended to be a writing school; the idea is rather that meeting with a foreign readership will enhance an awareness of and open up new perspectives on the participant’s own vocation as an author. The programme provides insight into the work of translators, gives participants media training, knowledge about international book markets, language practise, practical experience and international contacts.
Senior Adviser in NORLA, Dina Roll-Hansen, is managing the New Voices-programme.
