Congratulations to Linn Skåber, who was the recipient of the Wenche Foss Honorary Award for 2022!
The Wenche Foss Honorary Award is awarded to a person, organization, or institution that can be strongly associated with Foss’ zest for life, communication skills, and commitment – both in and outside the artistic arena.
“This year’s winner of the Wenche Foss Honorary Award is a rare multi-talent… The jury would particularly like to highlight her excellent youth book, Being Young,” the jury writes in its justification.
BEING YOUNG was the best-selling YA book in Norway in 2018 and has sold over 100,000 copies in Norwegian. Foreign rights have been sold to 11 countries.
Other books in the series include BEING GROWN-UP and TO US FROM OUR ELDERS.
Linn is also currently on tour with her hit play, WAITING FOR GOD KNOWS.
Congratulations, Linn! 🎉
The upcoming series The Fortress (Festning Norge) won the award for best script at the most prestigious international series festival Series Mania in France. The series is based on an idea and script developed by John Kåre Raake and Linn-Jeanethe Kyed, and was the only Norwegian series on the programme.
With more than 20 years in the business, his track record includes feature films and drama series spanning a wide range of genres for both adults and children.
Jørgen Jæger is on a roll! With recent sales to North Macedonia and Sweden, books from his Ole Vik series have now been sold to 7 countries – over 30 rights in total.
Things are off to a great start for Anders Totland’s A Prayer for Jacob Juul – film rights have been sold, it’s made its way to the bestseller list, and the first international sale has been secured.
Each spring and fall, NORLA chooses a selection of Norwegian books of current interest for book fairs and literary events.
