A publishing house, at your service.
Librum is an established publisher. The team that produces our own catalogue now offers that craft directly to authors and small presses, so your title gets professional production without the trial and error.
From our presses to your project.
Publishing taught us that the difference between an amateur book and a professional one lives in the details — the spacing of the type, the integrity of the press files, the way an eBook behaves on a small screen, the cover that earns a second look.
Over the years we built the in-house craft to get those details right, title after title, for our own catalogue. Authors kept asking whether we could do the same for their books. So we made it a service.
Whether you’re self-publishing your first title or running a small press, you get the same standards we hold our own books to — editing, layout, prepress for print-on-demand and offset, standards-compliant eBooks, hand-made covers and illustration.
Fifteen years of getting the details right.
Librum has spent more than fifteen years in books. We’ve worked alongside 50+ publishing houses across the region, and our titles are catalogued in COBISS, the shared bibliographic system of Serbia and the wider Balkans — the same record libraries and the national library rely on. Books we’ve produced have sold across the region in serious numbers.
That track record is the quiet part that matters. A studio can be set up in an afternoon. A publishing house earns its judgment over years of finished books — knowing how a spine should sit, why an eBook fails a store’s check, what makes a cover work at thumbnail size. That judgment is what you’re hiring.
We publish across Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Croatia, where the language is shared and the readership is one. That regional depth is exactly what we now bring to authors and publishers from the rest of the world: a real house, on the ground, that knows how to make and move a book.
Part of something larger.
Librum Publisher is one arm of ID and Brothers, a Belgrade group built entirely around the written and spoken word. When you work with us, the rest of that capability is within reach.

Craft over templates
Real decisions on every page, not a one-click template. A book should read the way a book reads — a series of small, deliberate choices made by people who’ve made them before.
Never AI where a hand belongs
Covers and illustrations are drawn by hand, in Photoshop and Illustrator. AI produces an average of everything it has seen, and an average book is invisible. Yours shouldn’t be.
No surprises
A fixed quote and a delivery date before we start. You always know the scope, price and timeline. No hourly billing, no moving goalposts.
Your book, your voice
We handle production and polish without flattening what makes your title yours. You keep your rights, your source files, and your voice.
Authors and presses, anywhere.
First-time authors — Self-publishing a debut who want it done right the first time.
Experienced self-publishers — Who’d rather not fight prepress, ePUB validation or cover design again.
Small presses — That need reliable, fixed-quote production they can plan around.
Foreign publishers — Looking for Serbian authors, rights and finished editions.
Authors in EN, DE, FR, ES, IT — Produced in their language, communicated in their language.
Belgrade, working worldwide.
