Overview
Ulven og Uglen is a Danish independent publishing house founded in 2013 by Line Lybecker and Katrine Buch Mortensen. It describes itself as the only publisher in Denmark dedicated solely to publishing fantasy for adult readers. The company operates from Denmark and sells its titles primarily in the Danish market through its own website and book trade channels. The publisher defines fantasy broadly: a work must contain a magical element, but magic can take many forms. Stories may be set in the past, present, or future, in distant solar systems, parallel universes, or the neighbour's back garden. Ulven og Uglen aims to represent the genre across a wide range of subgenres, including romance, epic fantasy, crime, and queer fantasy. Its catalogue includes both Danish and translated works. Among the titles highlighted on its website are 'En ny flok', 'En kamp for overlevelse', 'Ellefruen', 'Moder Jords døtre', 'Sødt og råddent', 'Kymoras masker', 'Muskler & Magi 2'eren', 'Bondekongens rejse', 'Bastians løfte', 'Døden kalder', 'Et manipuleret liv', 'Under huden', and 'Legender & latte'. The publisher has also issued series such as Mørkets søn by Jeanette Hedengran and Tina Sanddahl, Fortællingen om Blodet by Anders Björkelid, and Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archive (Stormlysarkiverne). As a small, privately held press, Ulven og Uglen does not disclose detailed financial information publicly. Its identity is built around curating and promoting adult fantasy in Denmark, a niche it claims to occupy alone in the Danish market.
History
Ulven og Uglen was founded in 2013 by Line Lybecker and Katrine Buch Mortensen as a Danish publishing house focused on fantasy for adults. From its inception, the press positioned itself as a specialist: it states that it is the only publisher in Denmark dedicated to adult fantasy. This niche focus distinguishes it from larger general-interest Danish publishers that may include fantasy within broader fiction lists. The publisher's editorial philosophy is that fantasy must contain a magical element, but that magic can be interpreted broadly. Settings can range from the past to the future, from distant solar systems to parallel universes or everyday neighbourhoods. The catalogue is organised around subgenres such as romance, epic fantasy, crime, and queer fantasy, reflecting an intent to represent the breadth of the genre. Over the years, Ulven og Uglen has published both original Danish works and translations. Notable series include Mørkets søn by Jeanette Hedengran and Tina Sanddahl, Fortællingen om Blodet by Anders Björkelid, and Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archive (published in Danish as Stormlysarkiverne). Individual titles promoted on the publisher's website include En ny flok, En kamp for overlevelse, Ellefruen, Moder Jords døtre, Sødt og råddent, Kymoras masker, Muskler & Magi 2'eren, Bondekongens rejse, Bastians løfte, Døden kalder, Et manipuleret liv, Under huden, and Legender & latte. The company remains a small, privately held independent press. It sells through its own online store and physical book channels in Denmark. No public record of a stock listing, major corporate parent, or large-scale acquisition is associated with the brand.
