2024 Year in Review: What Happened at GRIN

This year, too, AI technology has continued to evolve. GRIN was also part of the discussion around ChatGPT and Co. You can read about this and other events that kept us busy and moved us in our comprehensive annual review.

What to expect:

First things first:

  • The editorial team has published almost 7,000 new titles
  • We launched new social media channels for Hausarbeiten.de
  • We improved royalty options for our authors.

Numbers and Facts from the Editorial Team

Once again, we managed to publish a wide variety of texts this year. Out of approximately 7,000 publications, over 400 new e-books are available for you free of charge. Particularly high-quality theses were published under our imprint Academic Plus, which added 189 new titles this year. Here, you can always find titles on the most current topics.

To further simplify research for term papers and other academic work, we compile up to six papers on a single topic in our anthologies, allowing you to compare multiple perspectives or thematic focuses at a glance. This year, we created 88 new anthologies spanning a wide range of topics.

As a reminder: Texts that are generated entirely or predominantly by AI cannot be published by us.

Our online magazine GRINspiration

In 2024, we added 118 more articles to our magazine. Here, you’ll continue to find tips and tricks on studying, new articles in our formats “Understanding Literary Classics in 5 Minutes” and “Film and Series Recommendations,” as well as articles on current issues. Last year, questions about AI particularly shaped the themes of our magazine.

The most popular articles in 2024:

Fee bonuses

In July, we introduced three new bonuses in addition to the existing royalties for authors: Early Bird, English Boost, and Loyalty Bonus. This means you’ll receive higher royalties for English texts or works published shortly after completion. Additionally, starting with the sixth text you publish with us, the royalty rate increases.

Hausarbeiten.de

Over the past year, we have continuously improved our website, Hausarbeiten.de. In addition to helpful tutorials on research, topic selection, citation, and other aspects of academic writing, you can also find information on trending topics here. Furthermore, we expanded our social media presence. Alongside GRIN’s existing Instagram channel, we launched an Instagram account specifically for Hausarbeiten.de, as well as TikTok profiles for both websites: TikTok GRIN and TikTok Hausarbeiten.

News from the GRIN team

Teamwork is our top priority, so we once again organized two team events in 2024: a summer hiking day, where our office dog Millie was also welcome, and a fun and magical visit to the Magic Bavaria Museum.

A vibrant year for GRIN! And all of this was made possible with your help – thank you for your numerous text submissions, messages on social media, and your trust. Being part of GRIN together is simply more enjoyable.

The GRIN team wishes you a happy and healthy New Year!

You don’t have a cover idea yet or would like us to include your author photo on the back of the book? No problem.
