Volume 15, September 2019
See you in Frankfurt!
With just a bit more than a month away our preparations for the Frankfurt Book Fair 2019 are well under way. This year you can visit the Slovenian national stand on the exact same spot as last year – Hall 5.0, C103 – but we grew a bit bigger: in company of six Slovenian publishers with their individual meeting tables who will be joining us this year in our common aspirations for an intense promotion of Slovenian literature abroad.
To enjoy brand new translations of Slovenian literature, meet our authors and translators and have a taste of the Slovenian cuisine, visit our book fair events organized in kind cooperation with various partners.
Save the date for our reception on Wednesday, 16 October, at 13:00 at the Slovenian national stand, Hall 5.0, C103.
