The Feminists In The Spotlight
One of the similarities between us as playwrights and editors is that our work often goes unnoticed. The good and thorough work of editing is, above all, invisibly woven into the magazines, books and other publications that we produce day in and day out, and indeed permeates every page of every publication, which we conceive from the first idea through meticulous collecting, sifting, thinking, deleting, reversing, to the proofs and the press trials and the public events that we imagine after the magazines, books and other publications are on the shelves of bookshops, among subscribers and readers.

Thanks
Thank you to the Slovenian Association of Theatre Critics and Theatrologists for noticing the efforts I have invested in the production and development of contemporary theatrological, humanistic and theoretical thought as Editor-in-Chief of the Maska Publishing House for many years, and for editing the international professional journal and the Maska book programme, and for awarding me with the Vladimir Kralj Award for outstanding contribution to Slovenian theatre studies in April 2018.Thank you to the Slovenian Association of Theatre Critics and Theatrologists for your outstanding contribution to Slovenian theatre studies. Of course, without a team of exceptional collaborators, I would not have managed to create so many “small miracles”, as I call them, in the seven years I have been running Maska Publishing in highly precarious conditions.
