Women in Translation month

August is Women in Translation month and Norvik Press is celebrating the female authors and translators whose work we have had the honour of publishing over the years. These women have taken us soaring through the air on back of a goose, weaving the bustling streets of nineteenth-century Constantinople and posing for a sculpture in Riga during the Soviet occupation. The writing of Norvik women ranges across three centuries from Camilla Collett’s District Governor’s Daughters, first published in 1855, to Vigdis Hjorth’s A House in Norway, first published 2014.

We are especially especially pleased that two female authors whose work Norvik Press has published, Vigdis Hjorth and Kirsten Thorup, have been nominated for this year’s Nordic Council Literature Prize. Three Norvik titles are also in competition for the Warwick Prize for Women in Translation.

To celebrate the work of women in translation Norvik is offering blog readers a 10% discount on works by female authors published by Norvik on orders submitted by the end of September 2017. Browse our back catalogue here and email your order directly to norvik.press@ucl.ac.uk, quoting the discount code WOMEN IN TRANSLATION. Please note that this offer only applies to orders emailed directly to Norvik, and cannot be used for purchases in bookshops or online.
