VigeVageKnjige
Programme
VigeVageKnjige is publishing house specialised in comic books for children and graphic novels for young adults and adults. The basic goal of VigeVageKnjige is threefold: publishing books, improving reading literacy among younger and older population in Slovenia and raising awareness of a graphic novel as a literary genre
The first series Risoromani focuses on graphic novels that fuse the popular form of comics with a literary sensibility. Among their first releases were Slovenian translations of Château de Sable by Frederik Peeters & Pierre Oscar Lévy, Prototyp by Ralf König, and Fallteknikk by Inga Sætre.
Because VigeVageKnjige operates on a small market, they deal with their potential audiences with a pronounced care. They organise original events that accompany their book releases, including Skype talks with the authors at venues like Kino Šiška Centre for Urban Culture and (in collaboration with KUD Kentaver) live stage re-enactments of parts from the books. They thoughtfully use social media and work to personalise the relations with their customers and write a lively and colourful blog on their website.
