You have a lot of great ideas in your head that you would like to put down on paper?<\/strong> Then go one step further than writing them down in a diary or bullet journal. Become an author yourself and write your own book. <\/strong>How? Young author Marit gives you 7 crucial tips<\/strong>. In addition, publishing expert Verena tells you in her #passionstory why she loves books<\/strong> so much and how she helps authors to realise their future dreams.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Dream job publisher – Verena’s passion story<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“Publishing is my passion because every book is always something new and a little adventure. <\/strong>Because you can never finish reading and you learn more and broaden your horizons with every project,” Verena (39 years old, from Munich) <\/strong>tells us about her passion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together with Julia (38 years old, from Munich), Verena has been running the Komplett-Media publishing company, <\/strong>which we introduced to you in our Komplett-Media Verlag<\/a>, which we introduced to you in our last article,<\/a> <\/strong> since 2016. “We never learned publishing in the true sense of the word,”<\/strong> she tells us. “But maybe that’s just our secret. Basically, I came to publishing a bit like the virgin to the child. It was a mixture of ‘being in the right place at the right time’, luck and the courage to just go for it.<\/strong> But a certain hands-on mentality and the ability to make decisions cannot be denied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Working as a publisher – Challenge and opportunity at the same time<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The challenge and opportunity in one is that there is no prescribed timetable for publishing<\/strong>. Every project is always new and different<\/strong>. You never know where the journey will take you. That’s mainly because you’re always dealing with people, so it’s also always personal work. Since we are a small but fine publishing company, we don’t know any long, cumbersome and bureaucratic decision-making processes. <\/strong>This chance to live out our passions for topics unrestrained <\/strong>is what we see as a great speciality,” Verena explains to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enabling young female authors future dreams<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

“Writing is a creative and sometimes difficult process. <\/strong>Some of it is about destinies, formative experiences, stirring themes. As a publisher, you accompany the author on this path – from a white sheet of paper to the printed work<\/strong> that you proudly hold in your hands at the end. I negotiate with authors and agents and accompany a book from its idea to the finished printed product<\/strong>. Together with our team, I think about its layout, title and cover. To go down this path again and again is an absolute enrichment for one’s own life.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Verena’s #girlsforgirls expert tip<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I can only encourage young girls to dare to do things that at first sight seem a bit big<\/strong>. Others also boil with hot water. When opportunities present themselves, go for it!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
