Second half of 2019 brings some exciting Slovenian fiction in German, Italian and Spanish language as well as some new translations of children’s literature. The authors will be busy presenting the books all around Europe!
Every Story Matters (ESM), supported by the EU Creative Europe programme, is a project that consists of a close collaboration between 6 European partners from Flanders (Belgium), Slovenia, the Netherlands, Croatia, Germany and Portugal, who wish to increase the creation, availability and promotion of inclusive books for children and young adults in the EU and by doing so engage a broader and more diverse reading audience. The Slovenian partner of the project, which started on September 1 and will last until the end of 2022, is the Slovenian Book Agency.
17 guests from six different countries took part in a 3-day fellowship for international publishers, journalists and cultural managers, organised by the Slovenian Book Agency this August. In the light of the upcoming guest of honour role at the Frankfurt Book Fair in 2022 most guests came from Germany.
13 translators from 9 countries took part in the 9th Translation Seminar of Slovenian Literature between 17 and 22 August in Slovenia’s second largest city Maribor. The translators worked on three books by Slovenian authors: a bestselling criminal novel The Lake by Tadej Golob, an autofiction novel Commensurate Acres (A tale from the Seed Calendar) by Nataša Kramberger and a children’s book Mici, the Little Monster by Majda Koren.

Between 1 and 4 April the Slovenian Book Agency participated at the Bologna Children’s Book Fair 2019.

Her huge cricket-illustration was the centre of attention and the most photographed part of our stand in the renovated hall 29.
