Ulysses' Shelter: building writers-in-residence network

organizes literary residences for young writers, translators and editors. The project began at the end of 2018 in three locations - Ljubljana, Larissa and Pomena on the island of Mljet, organized by Sandorf Publishing from Zagreb, in partnership with Slovenian Writers' Society (DSP) from Ljubljana and publishing house Thraka from Larissa. Each resident spends three weeks at each location from December 2018 to October 2019. The network of partners has since extended to include Literary Association Krokodil from Belgrade, Literature Across Frontiers from Wales, Inizjamed from Malta, Culture Reset from the Czech Republic, and Mallorca Film Commission from Spain. The idea of the project is to bring together artists from around the world and expose the creative potential of various European locations. Tovar.hr is the main means of informing about the Ulysses' Shelter project - about the residents, their work, and events within the project (readings, workshops, conferences and social events with residents).

'Bibliotok/Library island' Chosen As One Of The Most Beautiful Croatian Books of 2022

Bibliotok/Library Island, the anthology of poetry and short stories written by twelve Ulysses' Shelter participants, has been selected as one of the eighteen winners of the 2022 Croatian Beautiful Book Award (Hrvatska lijepa knjiga).

The book was published by Sandorf, edited by Marija Dejanović, designed by Nikša Eršek, and features works by Eluned Gramich, Steven Hitchins, Dimitris Karakitsos, Dejan Koban, Danilo Lučić, Elan Grug Muse, Morgan Owen, Marilena Papaioannou, Tomo Podstenšek, Maja Ručević, Maša Seničić, and Thomas Tsalapatis.
