PUBLISHING ACTIVITY
Our recipe for success is publishing books that we would like to read ourselves, and which we would like to give to our loved ones.
Kobiece Publishing House was established in 2008 in Bialystok, in the heart of Podlasie (a region of north-east Poland). Initially, Kobiece focused broadly on women’s literature. Later, there became a need to publish non-fiction dealing with topics close to every human being: bold stories revealing the shocking backstage to the reality we know. There was also room for suspenseful crime novels, contemporary fiction and books for younger audiences. Today, the publishing house consists of four publishing brands: Wydawnictwo Kobiece, Mova, Paper Hearts and Young.
Swietlik dedicates its books to children in four age groups: 0-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12. It is known for its beautiful editions, charming and topical stories, selecting books with the youngest in mind as well as their caregivers. Swietlik works with esteemed authors and individuals specializing in creating beautiful illustrations to ensure that each published book stands out for its excellent quality, as well as nurturing a love for reading in children from an early age. Among Swietlik's authors, you will find names including Justyna Bednarek, Joanna Jagiello, and Anna Wlodarkiewicz, and joining our group of illustrators, Agata Dobkowska and Silvia Pizzati. The colourful and beautiful reading journey we offer is led by a charming, cheerful insect: a firefly (swietlik in Polish), who wants the books that it carries under its wings to illuminate the world for both the young and old! The Swietlik brand belongs to Kobiece Publishing Group. In March 2023, Swietlik released wonderfully illustrated books depicting the fantastic world of nature (and more) including, "Lore of the Land. Folklore and Wisdom from the Wild Earth" by Claire Cock-Starkey, and "Nature Trail" by Benjamin Zephaniah, as well as titles for little ones, including "Bear, Come Back" by Anna Wlodarkiewicz and "The Thief Who Sang Storms", the latest book by Sophie Anderson.
