Malinc Publishing House

Malinc is a publishing house that has been publishing quality young people’s literature since 2012 and strives to increase literary diversity. It focuses on publishing authors from the Spanish-speaking area and minority literatures related to Spanish culture, such as Basque, Catalan and Galician authors. It also publishes texts of lesser-known European and world literatures. It puts academic knowledge into practice through projects to promote and motivate reading: it runs reading motivation projects, organises training courses for reading tutors, literary readings and visits by foreign authors. In this way, it raises general reading literacy, intercultural and linguistic competences, and involves vulnerable groups, in particular dyslexic people.

In 2022, Malinc Publishing House was awarded with a distinction from IBBY Slovenia.
