The Slovenian literary publishing landscape comprises a small number of large publishing houses, such as Mladinska knjiga, several medium-sized publishers and quite a number of small or even micro-publishers who are nevertheless equally or even more instrumental in producing high-quality and innovative literary works. Owing to a rather small market, a significant proportion of Slovenian books are published with the support of state subsidies, which prevent excessive commercialization of the field.
Established in 1998 by the Students' Society of Novo Mesto (DNŠ), the Goga Publishing House is involved in a wide spectrum of activities, from publishing Slovene and foreign literary works, music CDs, and journals (Rast) to organising different cultural events, literary workshops, and residency programmes.
As of 2000 Goga also runs the Goga Bookshop, a popular venue for literary, musical, and other cultural events in Novo mesto.
The Beletrina Publishing Institute (up to 2014 known as Študentska založba Publishing House) is one of the most productive Slovene publishing houses. It publishes about 50 titles each year and prides itself on its choice of quality literary works. The main criteria for its work is that the writing is innovative, fresh and radical. The book editions Beletrina or Koda have got acclaimed and popular. The publisher places great importance on international cooperation; each year about 20 books are published abroad.
