VigeVageKnjige is a young and aspiring publishing house, set up in 2013 by a group of young professionals who form the Institute for Literary Publishing and Other Freedoms. With backgrounds spanning from design and illustration to humanities and poetry, Kaja Avberšek, Anja Golob, Taja Topolovec and Majda Peklaj (who form the inner editorial circle of VigaVagaKnjige) see their creed first and foremost in quality publishing. Nevertheless, setting up a commercially-minded and yet uncompromising publishing house in this time and place is also a statement of their enthusiastic and persuasive can-do mentality.

While still evolving, their publishing programme aims to release a series of 5 books per season. The first series focuses on comic books that merge this popular form with a literary sensibility. Among their first releases are Château de Sable by Frederik Peeters & Pierre Oscar Lévy, Prototyp by Ralf König and Fallteknikk by Inga Sætre. All of the authors are well respected and awarded in their home countries.

Because VigeVageKnjige operates on a small market, they deal with their potential audiences with a pronounced care. They organise original events that accompany their book releases, including Skype talks with the authors at venues like Kino Šiška Centre for Urban Culture and (in collaboration with KUD Kentaver) live stage re-enactments of parts from the books. They thoughtfully use social media and work to personalise the relations with their customers and write a lively and colourful blog on their website – one of the few select places where their books can be purchased.

-Their wider publishing programme is as of yet hard to decipher, as they plan to build it through series of 5 releases per season. The first one is focusing on comic books which merge this form with a literary sensibility and among their first releases are Chateu de Sable by Frederik Peeters & Pierre Oscar Lévy, Prototyp by Ralf König and Fallteknikk by Inga Sætre. All of them are well respected and awarded authors in their home countries.
