Beletrina is one of the most highly esteemed literary imprints in Slovenia.

Beletrina‘s list of contemporary Slovene authors is essential, focused as it is on highly regarded writers who not only attract substantial attention today but promise to flourish for decades to come. Though the imprint emphasizes younger prose writers and poets, many older and established authors have contributed to its richness and diversity.

Since its beginnings, Študentska založba Academic Press has been more than merely a publisher. By organizing readings, cultural events, poetry festivals, and by attracting distinguished translators, critics, musicians and painters, its Beletrina imprint has grown far beyond the traditional boundaries of a publishing house. It has become a cultural movement, with the goal of bringing the arts, fiction and poetry closer to the public. For these and many other reasons, Beletrina‘s publications are indispensable for anyone interested in contemporary Slovene literature and culture.
