Winje Agency, founded by Gina Winje in 2016, represents Scandinavian authors of high literary quality across all genres. WA is subagent for Fitzcarraldo Editions (UK) towards the Nordic countries.
“Piège à loup” (Ulvefellen) came out in French earlier this month and “Felsengrund” (Ingen skal drukne), the second book in Aslak’s best-selling Falck Trilogy, just launched in Germany.
Strengthening its Scandinavian presence, Winje Agency welcomes Swedish agent Sofia Odsberg to the team. Odsberg brings with her award-winning authors Lina Wolff and Mirja Unge.
German translator Hinrich Schmidt-Henkel has been awarded the inaugural Fosse Prize for Translators. ’Hinrich has been instrumental in bringing not only the work of Jon Fosse, but of many outstanding Norwegian authors, to German readers—and for that, we are eternally grateful,’ says Gina Winje.
Chiquitita is heading to Germany, where it will be published by the prestigious Luchterhand Literaturverlag, and the UK, where it will be one of the first books the brand-new Akoya Publishing will be launching with.
The second book in Ruth Lillegraven’s thrilling “Clara”-series, “Blood Ties” (“Dunkler Abgrund”, Ullstein Verlag, tr. Günther Frauenlob) is hitting it out of the park in Germany since launching a couple of months ago!
Jon Fosse is widely considered one of the world’s most important living writers, with an ability to touch readers across time and place.
Winje Agency will branch out and strengthen our collection of Children and Young Adult books.
