book ideas

Many of our books originate from direct proposals by authors, artists, scholars, or collectives. We do not see ourselves as a closed institution, but rather as a platform engaged in dialogue with a vibrant community. We publish books at the margins: between art and theory, between the scene and the archive, between personal experience and political aspirations. The publishing house is a space for voices that are often otherwise unheard. Many of our publications begin with an idea, a sketch, a conversation—sometimes quite informally. If you have a project you’d like to realize with us—get in touch. We look forward to curious, critical, and unconventional contributions.

If you would like to share a manuscript, a concept, or an idea with us, please provide the following materials:

• A brief description of the content (max. 1 page)
• A synopsis or concept paper
• A representative excerpt from the manuscript (approx. 10–20 pages)
• Personal information (CV, publications, link to website if applicable)

Whether you’re an author, artist, musician, scholar, activist, or simply someone with something to say: If you have a project in mind that might be a good fit for us—get in touch. Even if you’re not sure whether it’s “ready for publication.” We’ll take a look. You don’t need to submit a perfect application. We’re interested in what you have to say and how we might be able to help you turn it into a book. Please email your materials as a PDF to:

manuscripts@wolke-verlag.de

We carefully review all submissions. Please understand that this may take a few weeks.

For organizational reasons, we are unable to return unsolicited printed materials or manuscripts sent by mail.
