Slovenian Book Agency

The Slovenian Book Agency is a public agency that was established in 2008 to engage the area of literature in a coordinated and uniform way. Its primary concerns are to facilitate better availability of books, to promote Slovene authors internationally, to financially support literary events, projects concerned with reading culture, publications of quality books and translations, and to regulate the process from the production to publication to distribution of literature.

JAK (Slovenian abbreviation for Slovenian Book Agency) is located in the house called Vratarnica (Gatekeeper's house) in the Metelkova Quarter of Ljubljana, in the vicinity of the Ministry of Culture.

Centre for Slovenian Literature

Established in 1999, the Centre for Slovenian Literature is a non-governmental organisation dedicated to literary and publishing activities, primarily the international promotion of Slovenian literature. The centre supplies information on contemporary Slovenian literature to its foreign partners and stimulates translations of Slovenian authors into foreign languages. It organises translators' visits to literary events and residencies, supplying them with books and literary magazines.

Since 2011, the Centre for Slovenian Literature annually publishes 10 Books from Slovenia with authors' presentations and excerpts of books in English (available also online).
