Novae Res Publishing House

Wydawnictwo Novae Res is a Polish publishing house founded in 2007 in Gdynia by Wojciech Gustowski and Krzysztof Szymański. It operates on a dual model: traditional publishing and subsidized publishing, where authors co-finance the production of their books. The company is a partner of the Pomeranian Science and Technology Park in Gdynia, where it is headquartered, and is a member of the Polish Book Chamber and the Polish Society of Book Publishers. Novae Res publishes Polish prose and popular science literature, with a catalogue of over 1,500 titles and approximately 200 new releases per year. It is also the organizer of the annual Literary Debut of the Year competition, held under the honorary patronage of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage. The publishing house has received several awards, including the Gdynia Business Plan competition in 2007, a distinction in the Microentrepreneur of the Year 2012, and the Polish Businesswoman Awards in 2017. It has also been involved in social and cultural sponsorship activities. In 2014, Novae Res faced controversy after threatening legal action against a blogger who wrote a critical review of one of its books, leading to an apology from the publisher.

Wydawnictwo Novae Res was established in 2007 in Gdynia, Poland, by Wojciech Gustowski and Krzysztof Szymański. From its inception, it has been a partner of the Pomeranian Science and Technology Park in Gdynia, where it maintains its headquarters. The publishing house operates on a dual model: traditional publishing and subsidized publishing, where authors co-finance the production of their books. This approach has allowed Novae Res to publish over 1,500 titles, with approximately 200 new releases annually and over 1,000 media reviews of its books each year. Many of its authors are debutants, but it also publishes well-known Polish writers such as Piotr C., Agnieszka Lingas-Łoniewska, Nina Reichter, Jolanta Kosowska, Magdalena Knedler, Daniel Koziarski, Anna Szafrańska, Adrian Bednarek, K.N. Haner, Augusta Docher, Agata Czykierda-Grabowska, Anna Kasiuk, Mikołaj Milcke, and Edward Łysiak. Novae Res is a member of the Polish Book Chamber and the Polish Society of Book Publishers. It is also the initiator and organizer of the annual Literary Debut of the Year competition, held under the honorary patronage of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage. The publishing house has received several awards: in 2007, the Novae Res project won the 5th edition of the Gdynia Business Plan competition; in 2012, it received a distinction from the jury of the Microentrepreneur of the Year competition organized by the Kronenberg Foundation and Citi Handlowy; in 2017, it was awarded the leader statuette among opinion-forming book publishers in the 6th edition of the Polish Businesswoman Awards by Businesswoman & Life magazine, and was a laureate of the 20th edition of the WIKTORIA Quality Mark for Entrepreneurs competition in the category of scientific, educational, and research and development activities. The company has sponsored numerous social and cultural initiatives, cooperating with organizations such as the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity, the Mam Marzenie Foundation, the Mam serce Foundation, the Wybieram zdrowie Foundation, the Keepers Foundation, the Polish Cystic Fibrosis Association, the Association of Parents of Disabled Children 'Tacy sami', the Wspólnota Gdańska Foundation, and the Pro turris Foundation for the Protection and Promotion of Pomeranian Monuments, as well as supporting cultural projects of schools and libraries, literary competitions, and social campaigns promoting reading throughout Poland. In 2014, Novae Res faced controversy when it threatened legal action against a blogger who wrote a critical review of Adrian Bednarek's book 'Pamiętnik Diabła', leading to the removal of the review. The review criticized the low editorial quality and pointed out numerous errors, including spelling mistakes. The secretary of the editorial office stated that the blogger 'went beyond the framework of a review' and that Novae Res had only 'requested the removal of the review'. The publisher later apologized for threatening legal steps. In 2017, the editor-in-chief commented: 'There is no justification for us here – we did not supervise our editor, whose work made a fool of himself and the publishing house.' The apology noted that there were two editors involved.
