What You Can Expect from This Website

(Please note: This article was re-written on June 4, 2026. I reduced the categories, and re-wrote the article to reflect those changes.)

When I established my publishing business in January of 2026, I decided to chronicle my publishing journey from start to finish on this website. As a sole proprietor who does (almost) everything by herself, my decisions and actions resemble those of authors who self-publish, and not those of publishing houses with publishing teams.

The only difference between self-publishing authors and me is the fact that I intend to publish other people’s texts in addition to my own, which requires a trade licence for a publishing business in Austria. But I am operating with a miniscule budget, as do most self-publishing authors, regardless of where they live.

As I already self-published three books in the past, I can share the lessons I’ve learned. As I also don’t mind falling flat on my face in public, I don’t mind sharing mistakes as well as (past and future) failures.

So what can you expect from this website?

All articles will be filed in one of the following four categories:

1) Books ! – Information about books published by me.

2) Writing & Editing

Articles in this category involve all stages of the writing and editing process. While most of my writing experience involves non-fiction texts, I do have experience in writing works of fiction. I am intimately familiar with writing block – and know how to overcome it. I also do a lot of research for my projects.

3) The Publishing Business

This involves all aspects of running a business, and everything that comes after the editing process: the physical prdocution of the books, distribution, sales, marketing activities, etc. etc. etc.

4) This & That

Every once in a while I will write blog posts which won’t fall into one of the above categories.
