The first publication in line was the Anton Podbevšek 100 Supernatural Years, a book on a Slovene avant-garde poet and a participant of the Novo Mesto Spring [Novomeška pomlad] movement that in the 1920s marked the beginning of Slovene modernism.
Goga's literature publishing programme tries to enable new perspectives on local literature (intermingling renowned authors with upcoming writers), as well as offer translations of first-class literature from abroad. It deals with both poetry and prose, and since 2003 also with occasional theoretical and historical works. In the past, Goga also published music records, mostly by Slovene artists playing jazz, folk, chanson, world music and also classical works.
Rast, a quarterly review for literature, culture and social issues, is published by Goga in collaboration with the Municipality of Novo mesto. There is an accompanying web portal called eRast.
Goga is a part of several European (formal and informal) networks, active in exchanging authors, works, and various residency opportunities (it actively organises the exchange of Slovene authors to other residencies across Europe).
It was involved in several projects financed by the EU's Culture programme, with one of such projects called South and East reaches West – digital platform for promotion of writers in post-conflict societies (2017–2019), shorter Reading Balkans. The project, basically, aimed to ease the entry of Eastern and South-Eastern writers to the wider European markets. In 2018 the open call for residencies was open for Ukrainian authors in the frame of the Goga Literary Residency programme in Novo mesto.
Such and other projects, as well as for some time a collaboration with the Goethe-Institut Ljubljana, enable Goga to run a regular stream of residencies.
