Foreign rights
Since 2026 ABC Forlag has been an imprint under Vild Maskine, which is an independent publishing house located one hour south of Copenhagen in Vordingborg. Each year the two publishing houses publish approximately 25-30 new titles both Danish and translated titles, which include both fiction, activity books, illustrated and narrative non-fiction titles with a clear quality profile.
The publishing house was originally founded in 1998 by Flemming Møldrup who until then had been an editorial director at Forlaget Carlsen. In 1999 Flemming Møldrup became the head of Denmark’s biggest and oldest publishing house, Gyldendal’s children’s department and ABC Forlag ceased its publishing activities. In 2006 Flemming Møldrup left Gyldendal to establish the new ABC Forlag, which in 2026 was sold to the independent publishing house Vild Maskine.
Babel Bridge Literary Agency handle and sell the foreign rights to our children’s books as well as the film and TV rights.
Many of ABC Forlag’s titles have over the years been sold and published abroad.
