Nonsolo Verlag Ug

Starting a new, small, independent publishing house is indeed an unconventional decision. Maybe even a naive one. And yet there are many good reasons for doing so.
More than 20 years of commitment to the promotion of Italian culture have shown us - to our great regret - again and again that Italian authors find it difficult to gain access to the German publishing market. Especially – but not only – if they are young and/or not yet famous. Hence our publisher's name: not only, nonsolo . noun est omen.
After countless meetings, discussions, deliberations with colleagues and friends, and with a large portion of idealism, a concrete project emerged from the long-cherished desire to change this unsatisfactory situation.
Life "between two worlds" has shown us again and again that the image of a foreign culture in public opinion is very often determined by clichés that are based on superficial knowledge and have little to do with reality. We would like to counteract this tendency. And in the only way that promises success: namely by building bridges between cultures or by tearing down the wall of distrust and incomprehension that all too often separates them.
That's why we set out to give contemporary Italian authors a voice and give them a sounding board. We would be delighted if you would support us in this project.
