Thanks to GRIN, I am not only writing for the drawer, but I can share my main research with a large number of like-minded people.

I think it's great that, through GRIN, more people, other than just the professor, read one's own work.

FAQ – The most important questions and answers

How much does it cost to publish my text on GRIN?

Publishing on GRIN is completely free.

What kind of publisher is GRIN?

We have made it our mission to bring authors and readers together. With GRIN, you publish your texts as an e-book and book with your own ISBN – and completely free of charge. Your publications not only appear in our online shop, but also in our international sales network.

What happens after I upload my texts?

First, our editing team checks all texts. It is particularly important that the work is complete and meets scientific requirements. If they have any questions, the team will contact the author directly. After the examination, the texts appear as an e-book, first. The print edition follows a little later.

Do all publications need to appear under the author's real name?

No. At Grin, it is also possible to publish texts anonymously or under a pseudonym.

Can I buy my book at a discounted price?

GRIN authors can order discounted copies of their books at any time via their account.
