Readers become authors – creating books together
Everyone knows something worth writing down:
- a family recipe (“The Meyer family’s Sauerbraten”)
- a custom or festive dish from the homeland
- a story or fairy tale that has been passed down
- a personal experience that can touch others
We collect such contributions and compile them into collective books – living collections full of regional treasures and personal stories.
Examples
- Baking recipes for Franconian festivals
- What is baked for the holidays in Thuringia
- Fairy tales from the Ore Mountains
How it works
Pay once – contribute multiple times!
You can submit a variety of recipes, stories, or traditions – and pay a one-time fee of €19 per topic. Contributions from all over the world are especially welcome. We create these in German, but we also welcome originals in other languages – if the authors support us.
We collect stories and make cultural heritage visible to everyone.
- Proofreading is possible upon request.
- You will receive 50% of the net proceeds from each sale of the book.
Publication usually takes place within 6-8 weeks.
Preserving memories
"I still remember my mother. She had an old leather notebook full of handwritten recipes: devil's cake, pickling cucumbers... The pages were yellowed, but that was the only way it tasted the way it should.
Today, there are thousands of recipes online – but what we really want to share are the stories behind them. The memories.
That's why we invite you: Write down your recipe or story, take a few pictures while baking or cooking – and send it to us.
This way, the valuable content is preserved, reaches many readers – and you receive
even a commission from every sale!
“Kids, get your grandma on the laptop!”
Your recipes, fairy tales, and stories are too precious to be forgotten. Together we'll turn them into a book!"
And best of all, it's also a wonderful gift idea!
Give your family or friends a piece of memory – as a shared book.
