Word: Izboljšanje percepcije, kroženja in razvoja trga evropskih grafičnih romanov

Graphic novel market in Slovenia lacks high quality translations with high literary, aesthetical and societal value, as it is still perceived as a trivial comic book equivalent,
Lack (or poor) crucial elements: stable audience pool, normal bookstore, established promotion channels, international networking and integration, media coverage, and multiple strong
players that would invest in audience cultivating.

Project objectives are:

To publish high quality graphic novels with excellent literary, aesthetical and societal value, translated in Slovene,
To boost their recognition and visibility through integrated promotion and creative themed events, aimed at target audiences, and
To improve market conditions with systematic actions (graphic novel festival, fairs attendance, education of librarians) that will increase sales and also improve conditions on the long run.

Work program relevance:

Key actions: translations, publishing, distribution, promotion bundle, graphic novel festival, audience cultivation, market development. The project is about graphic novels translations to Slovene, and about smart market and audience development, required to make sales in a small market.
Key results include: 11 high-quality graphic novels tackling minorities and similar societal messages, of high literary and aesthetical value, translated from EU languages, tailored creative events celebrating their publishing, large-sclae promo campaigns (guerilla, niche, national radio, posters), 3 graphic novel workshops, first international graphic novel festival in Slovenia, dedicated matchmaking of artists, publishers and agents.
Impact: to improve the graphic novel offerings, cultivate audience’s reading culture, improve long-term market conditions, boost graphic novel reputation and credibility as a lively vocal genre, boost sales.
Target groups benefiting: youth, children, young adults, librarians, graphic novel artists, translators.
