BFL was founded in 1956. We publish around 90 books a year. We publish books for children and teenagers; additionally we also sometimes launch works in special formats and books for adults. In addition to editing our own publications, we also sometimes edit and manage print- ing for others. We can take care of the whole process through to printing, in cooperation with the publisher, naturally. In most cases this means managing layout, proofing, images and printing. Every year BFL joins the international book fairs in Bologna and Frankfurt am Main, as well as the Forum book fair in Copenhagen. We participate to make sure that we keep up to speed with the most recent developments on the book market and new trends in children’s and youth literature. Such fairs are great opportunities for us to raise our profile as publishers, as well as to showcase the work of Faroese authors and illustrators.
