NORLA has again selected their prioritized titles in Norway for this spring. Eight titles within Norwegian fiction, non-fiction and children’s and YA. We are proud to say that two of the chosen titles are from Northern Stories.
Within fiction NORLA has selected Ingebjørg Berg Holm’s RAGING BEAR. A psychological thriller set in Bergen and on Svalbard, with three people fighting over the right to be together with a child. The book was pre-empted by Le Cherche Midi in France and has just sold to Carbonio in Italy.
Here’s a video of Ingebjørg Berg Holm presenting the book.
In nonfiction the selected title is Siri Helle’s THE HANDMADE TALE. A story about building a small, but absolutely necessary house on your own and feeling an intense joy of doing it by yourself. Granta secured World English rights and Rowohlt got the German rights.

“A great honour,” says Kristofer Hivju about playing police investigator Ole Vik in the crime series Sogn Murders. The TV2 series is based on Jørgen Jæger’s bestselling books, and filming started this week in Sogn.
Northern Stories increased its revenue from NOK 10.2 million to NOK 15.8 million in 2024 – and was simultaneously named a Gazelle Company by Dagens Næringsliv.
“We continue to grow in markets that remain challenging,” says founder Astrid Dalaker.
After careful consideration of several production companies, Anne Elvedal has chosen Monster to develop a TV series based on her critically acclaimed psychological thriller, You Can Call Me Jan.
Anne Elvedal’s gripping psychological thriller You Can Call Me Jan has earned its place on both Adresseavisa’s and NRK’s prestigious lists of the best books of the year.
