Discover the Line-up
In the lead-up to Bogforum 2026, we will continue to announce new names for the programme. Here, you can get an overview of the authors and profiles already confirmed – and keep up as more are added.
Madeline Taylor
British author Madeline Taylor is the creator of the international phenomenon Heir of Illusion, a fast-paced and adventurous romantasy series of the highest calibre. The first book in the series, Heir of Illusion, was self-published in March 2024, and it did not take long before readers embraced the story of the young woman Ivy and the mysterious stranger Thorne—soon followed by major publishers and literary agencies. The book has been sold for publication in 17 countries, and the Danish edition, Heir of Illusion – Skyggens hævn, was released earlier this spring. Photo: Lauren White
Einar Már Guðmundsson
Einar Már Guðmundsson is one of Iceland’s most celebrated living authors and enjoys a devoted readership in Denmark. His breakthrough novel Angels of the Universe (1993) won the Nordic Council Literature Prize, and ever since, he has explored the history and spirit of the Icelandic people with both humour and social engagement. In April 2026, he published Alt fra hatte til sko, which he will bring with him when he visits Bogforum 2026. Photo: Gassi
Dörte Hansen
Dörte Hansen (b. 1964) is one of Germany’s most acclaimed and widely read contemporary authors. Before making her literary debut with Kirsebærlandet (2015), she worked for several radio stations and magazines in Germany. At Bogforum 2026, Dörte Hansen will present her poetic novel Til havs (2026), a story about an island community in decline and a family struggling to find its place on the margins. Photo: Multivers
