Founded byAnja Golob

VigeVageKnjige is a young and yet ambitious publishing house, which was set up in 2013 by a group of young professionals, who form the Institute for literary publishing and other freedoms. Their 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 the 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 for them also a statement of a can-do mentality.

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.

Due to VigeVageKnjige operating on a small market, they deal with their potential audiences with a pronounced care. They are setting up original events that accompany their books (Skype talks with the authors and (in collaboration with KUD Kentaver) live stage re-enactment of parts from the books), thoughtfully use the social media, work on personalising the relations with their customers and lead a blog on their webpage - which is one of the few select places where their books can be bought.
