Debut Novel
A debut novel is the first novel a novelist publishes. Debut novels are often the author's first opportunity to make an impact on the publishing industry, and thus the success or failure of a debut novel can affect the ability of the author to publish in the future. First-time novelists without a previous published reputation, such as publication in nonfiction, magazines, or literary journals, typically struggle to find a publisher. Sometimes new novelists will self-publish their debut novels, because publishing houses will not risk the capital needed to market books by an unknown author to the public. Most publishers purchase rights to novels, especially debut novels, through literary agents, who screen client work before sending it to publishers. These hurdles to publishing reflect both publishers' limits in resources for reviewing and publishing unknown works, and that readers typically buy more books by established authors with a reputation than first-time writers.

Michaelmas ( ; also known as the Feast of Saints Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael, the Feast of the Archangels, or the Feast of Saint Michael and All Angels) is a Christian festival observed in some Western liturgical calendars on 29 September, and on 8 November in the Eastern tradition. Michaelmas has been one of the four quarter days of the English and Irish financial, judicial, and academic year.

Johannes is a Medieval Latin form of the personal name that usually appears as " John" in English language contexts.

Deserted Farm
A deserted farm ( no, ødegård) in Norway is a farm that was left abandoned or unused for various reasons. Terminology In Norway, this term primarily applies to farms deserted due to the Black Death in 1349 and 1350. In many cases, the description of the farm as ''øde'' 'deserted' became part of the farm name for posterity when the farms gradually came back into use again. Examples of such names include ''Øderå'' and ''Kroksundøgarden'' (both in Hole), ''Øde-Rud'' (in Nannestad), ''Hole-Ødegården'' (in Ringerike), ''Øde-Hval'' (in Ringerike and Modum), and simply ''Ødegården'' (e.g., in Fredrikstad). A contracted variant of the name is ''Øygard'' (in Grimstad) or ''Øygarden'' (in Søgne). The term ''ødegård'' is also used in Denmark, where starting in the 1950s Copenhagen residents began looking for abandoned and deserted small farms in Sweden that they could buy or rent and use for the summer. History After the plague epidemics of the 1300s, the population of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Norwegian Language
Norwegian ( no, norsk, links=no ) is a North Germanic language spoken mainly in Norway, where it is an official language. Along with Swedish and Danish, Norwegian forms a dialect continuum of more or less mutually intelligible local and regional varieties; some Norwegian and Swedish dialects, in particular, are very close. These Scandinavian languages, together with Faroese and Icelandic as well as some extinct languages, constitute the North Germanic languages. Faroese and Icelandic are not mutually intelligible with Norwegian in their spoken form because continental Scandinavian has diverged from them. While the two Germanic languages with the greatest numbers of speakers, English and German, have close similarities with Norwegian, neither is mutually intelligible with it. Norwegian is a descendant of Old Norse, the common language of the Germanic peoples living in Scandinavia during the Viking Age. Today there are two official forms of ''written'' Norwegian, (lite ...
