Team & contributors

Wolke is an independent publishing house - run by a small, dedicated team that works in close collaboration with authors, editors, artists, designers and friends. We don't think of publishing as a corporation, but as a platform: for voices that need to be heard - and for books that want to make a difference.

Patrick Becker

Publishing management, editing, design, production, distribution

Patrick is the managing director and oversees the publishing house’s entire program—from strategic direction and the conceptualization of individual titles to production, public relations, and long-term development. As a musicologist with a Ph.D. and a journalist, he bridges the gaps between theory, practice, and cultural outreach.

  • Fun fact:Finally has more books at work than at home.

Nika Nardelli

Marketing, advertising, production

Nika is responsible for marketing for the publishing house as well as advertisingfor the magazines Tempo, 13 Reasons , and kaput. She develops communication strategies for books, magazines, and subscriptions and oversees collaborations with partners in music and culture. Another key part of her work is producing events for the publishing house.

  • Fun fact:She thinks about lyrics, sound, and music—preferably while lying in a hammock on a remote island overlooking the sea, with no other people around.

Hannes Wagner

production

Hannes brings the Wolke books to life beyond their covers. He is responsible for planning, organizing, and executing the publisher’s events. These primarily include concerts as part of the “wolke in concert” series. These events provide an important space for encounters between authors, artists, and readers.

  • Fun fact: In a previous life, he played pop music on raft trips as a bassist, and yet—or perhaps because of this—he ended up in contemporary music.

Lisa manages our social media platforms by creatively executing advertising campaigns and turning books and topics into visual content. She also coordinates press releases and supports the day-to-day operations of the publishing house with organizational tasks, communication, and book projects.

Dimana translates our content into graphics and shapes the visual identity of Wolke—from the initial cover concept to the final details in print. In addition to book covers, she handles all of the publishing house’s graphic design work, including greeting cards, tote bags, posters, and social media visuals.

  • Fun fact: She draws inspiration from books, music, the butterfly effect, and the subtle connections between people, and she firmly believes that good deeds don’t need an external reason.
