Nibras Publishing and Distribution celebrated its first anniversary of distinguished cultural launch.
It has established itself as one of the most prominent young and dynamic publishing houses in the Qatari cultural scene, offering a unique blend of innovation, dynamism, and a modern vision for culture and publishing.
Since its founding, Nibras has published fifteen literary and cultural works, including six new releases this year. These titles represent a qualitative addition in the diversity of topics and literary styles they offer. It appeals to a wide readership and provides a genuine support platform for new authors and promising talents. One of the most prominent initiatives launched by the publishing house is the "Nibras Literary Fund," a pioneering funding initiative aimed at supporting Qatari writers by covering the costs of publishing, printing, and distribution, with a portion of the proceeds allocated to serve Qatari public and private libraries.
This initiative has received support from several national institutions, forming a cultural partnership between the public and private sectors to serve the local literary movement.
Nibras also launched the "Siraj Cultural Club," a cultural and knowledge club focused on youth, bringing them together for motivational meetings, training workshops, and literary sessions aimed at developing skills and cultural communication, and in enhancing the Qatari creative scene with a modern spirit.
In keeping pace with digital transformations, the publishing house launched its digital literature project. An advanced electronic platform, it provides access to all its publications through a digital store for a nominal weekly subscription.
This step aims to facilitate access to Qatari content for readers around the world and to create a lively and continuous interaction between authors, readers, and the publishing house.
Because technology has become an integral part of the cultural experience, the publishing house introduced the concept of speed reading on its website in a contemporary style that suits modern reading styles.
It also launched the "Bookcast" experience, a series of audio book summaries that combines audio and knowledge, suitable for podcast audiences and digital readers.
To enrich its digital cultural presence, the publishing house launched the "Siraj Digital Newsletter," which provides fresh interactive content about local culture and highlights new releases, activities, and initiatives that reflect the vitality of the cultural project adopted by Nibras Publishing House.
Under the leadership of its founder and director, Mohammed bin Salaan al-Marri, Nibras Publishing House continues to consolidate its new approach to publishing culture in Qatar, which is based on a vision that believes knowledge is a common right and that literature can be a lively, interactive experience, not just a book on a shelf.
