The reason we need writers is because we need witnesses. We need witnesses to understand other cultures better. The main goal of our publishing house (and this particular project) is to emphasize the importance of literature and its diversity. Accordingly, we want to promote linguistic heterogeneity and develop mutual co-operation between lesser used language communities, especially between the Balkans and the rest of EU. Slovenia has a population of only 2 million, but is an important bridge between Europe and the Balkan applicants for membership. It was the first country in the western Balkans to have joined the EU and can act as a mediator on the literary map as well.That is why we have purposely chosen 10 topmost novels with true, deep emotional punch, half from the lesser developed Balkan region, half from the more developed EU regions, by authors who haven’t been translated into Slovene language yet, so as to open new doors for them to Slovene readers and build their reputation as a whole. Our strategy specifically targets lesser used languages. Nine out of ten works we have selected are written in lesser used languages. The works are selected for their quality, variety of themes and issues they deal with. Above all, we strive to publish books that we are passionate about. Books that move us intellectually and emotionally. Because we find them important, because we know that they can make a difference. Each book will be translated by an established or even award-winning translator. Our editors are among the most renowned literary figures in Slovenia. Our experienced designers will equip the selected works with appropriate artwork and design. We will organize widespread distribution as well as sufficient media exposure and promotion ensuring the books reach a wide range of audience, including new, younger readership circles, with the help of our chain of bookstores, internet and social media, digital technologies and special literary events.
