Established in November 2001 by the Student Organisation of the University of Maribor Litera Publishing House aims to contribute to the development of publishing activity in eastern Slovenia and create a new space for authors as well as readers. Litera has launched a series of non-profit, intellectual, essayist and literary programmes based on criteria such as contemporary relevance, originality, and aesthetics, alongside exclusively literary and local history publications.

The Litera Bookstore in Maribor is a space dedicated to the development of critical thought, literary-cultural production and publication. Litera is also present at many international book fairs in Ljubljana, Frankfurt, Prague, Belgrade, Pula and Tuzla.

Programme

Litera's book series include: Piramida (contemporary Slovene literature), Babilon (contemporary world literature), Nova znamenja (humanities), Mladež (youth literature), From the antique world, and the Collected Works of Slovene Poets and Prose Writers.

Publishing from 25 to 30 titles annually, Litera has published more than 130 different publications since 2001.

In June 2007 Litera launched the Spogledi, Literary-Music Festival. The first edition took place at the Slovenska Bistrica Castle, later on it was presented also in other cities in the region (Ptuj, Maribor, Ruše, Murska Sobota), in 2011 also in Novo mesto.
