The Estonian Publishers’ Association was founded in 1991 to unite the interests of the newly emerged private and independent publishers, and to safeguard their fundamental freedom to publish any content worth to print.

The number of members the association has changes often and at present, the organisation has 33 members, most of them playing a significant role in the Estonian book market. The Association is a member of Federation of European Publishers.

The Association offers services to their members in many areas, especially in promoting books throughout Estonia and abroad during fairs and international gatherings. The Association’s major goals are to represent, manage, foster and protect the interests of the publishing community.

The Association is one of the organisers of the yearly touring Baltic Book Fair (in 2004 and 2007 in Tallinn).
Each year the Association is represented in the jury for the 25 Best Designed Books in Estonia.
