Über uns
Join our regular meetup to master both the business and technical sides of publishing. I run LODE Publishing and help authors navigate everything from market strategy to professional book production, covering both the creative and technical aspects that make books successful.
My expertise spans the complete publishing spectrum: market research and genre positioning, publishing route decisions (self vs. hybrid vs. traditional), pricing and royalty optimization, plus advanced technical production including LaTeX typesetting, professional formatting, multi-format publishing (PDF/EPUB), and cover design that converts.
Each meeting addresses real publishing challenges: we analyze market opportunities and brainstorming techniques, explore publishing industry navigation, troubleshoot technical formatting issues, discuss font and typography decisions, compare platform strategies (like Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, Lulu), and share insights from book fairs and industry developments.
Whether you need help choosing your genre, finalizing your manuscript, mastering professional typesetting, or developing effective marketing strategies, this group provides comprehensive guidance for authors serious about both craft and business success.
The meetup is conducted in English with German welcome for clarification.
