Publishing programme
A newcomer to the field of publishing, ArseM Publishing House opened in 2010 with Saga o Hallgerd [The Saga of Hallgerd] by the prominent and popular Slovene writer Svetlana Makarovič. It was followed by Čuk na palici [Barn Owl on a Stick], a collection of poems for children by the same author. They also published Cvetka Bevc's Desetka [The Mighty Ten], a teen novel that was selected by the Slovenian Book Agency for the Growing up with a book project in the school year 2012/2013, with every first-year secondary school pupil receiving the book in their nearest public library. Their repertoire also features acclaimed foreign authors such as Virginia Woolf and Hanif Kureishi. ArseM received funding from the EU’s Culture Programme 2007—2013 for a literary translation project in 2011.
They promote and publicise their collection of books through literary readings and by maintaining a presence at different fairs and events.
