==Publishing programme==
Cankarjeva založba Publishing House has launched several large projects, such as the Lexicon and Dictionary of Foreign Terms, and has also produced several important series of literature in translation such as ''Nobelovci'' ("Winners of the Nobel Prize in Literature") or ''XX. stoletje'' ("Novels of the 20th Century"), featuring novels by Joyce, Conrad, Freud, Kureishi, Lessing, and Ishiguro. 

Among their more recent undertakings are two collections: ''Bralna znamenja'' ("Reading Signs"), a collection about books and the processes of reading, and ''Hvalnice'' ("Hymns"), where renowned Slovene authors examine particular subjects from singular points of view. Cankarjeva založba's publishing programme also offers works from various other fields, for example, drama, poetry, children and youth literature, travel writing, language handbooks, and monographic publications, all the while putting great focus on Slovene authors. Book publications are accompanied by literary presentations and readings. 

At the 100th anniversary of the birth of  writer Ivan Cankar, Cankar's publishing House released an album called ''Literarni revolucionar'' (Literary Revolutionary) dedicated to his work and life. Book Literarni revolucionar  is the result of a joint work of four leading Slovenian researchers in the fields of dramatics, poetry and essay writing and narrative prose, which re-read Cankar's opus and illuminate it with contemporary literary knowledge.

To recognise the winner of the [[Vilenica International Literary Awards|Vilenica International Literary Prize]] Cankarjeva založba publishes the Slovene translation of their work in cooperation with the [[Slovene Writers’ Association]] and [[Vilenica International Writers’ Gathering|International Vilenica Festival]] every year.
