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.

Polica Dubova Cultural and Artistic Association

The Polica Dubova Cultural and Artistic Association was established in 2007 and is active in different fields of culture with a view to promoting Slovene literature in Slovenia and abroad. The association is engaged in a wide range of activities arranged by a group of authors, translators, lecturers and editors.

The association organises translation and other creative workshops, cultural events in Slovenia and abroad, visits of authors, and literary and artistic installations on the Internet. Much effort is put into supporting Slovene lectureships (for language, literature and culture) at foreign universities. One of Polica Dubova publishing focuses is on contemporary Polish and Czech authors. They introduce such authors as Jerzy Franczak, Ivana Myšková and Jan Němec to Slovene readers. Books are accessible in the Pólica Dubova Internet Bookshop and also in bookshops and libraries all over Slovenia.
