Legacy

The Norwegian Writers' Center (Norsk forfattersentrum) is an organization of Norwegian poets and fiction writers that encourages interactions among writers and the general public. It is funded by the Norwegian Ministry of Culture and Church Affairs and promotes literacy through poetry readings, public talks, conferences, presentations in schools, and cultural events. Writers resident in Norway having published at least one work of fiction and non-fiction (novels, poetry and children's books), are eligible for membership. Established in 1968, it has over 900 members and offices in Oslo, Bergen, Kristiansand, Trondheim, and Tromsø. The leader since 2006 is Ingvild Christine Herzog.
