A platform for your book
Have you ever dreamed of writing your own book? – or even already written one? Maybe it’s a novel that won’t let you go. A biography about your life or that of a special person. A children’s book full of fantasy, a guide with knowledge that can help others, or poetry that you finally want to share with the world.
Whatever drives you, your book deserves a platform. And now is exactly the right moment for that: GRIN is expanding its range of services and opening the doors of the publishing house to non-academic texts!
A publishing house with a history – now also for yours.
For over 25 years, GRIN has stood for high-quality academic publishing. More than 260,000 publications, personal support and a professional eye for quality are what set us apart. So far, our focus has been on scientific work – but that has changed. Youcan immediately publish your non-academic works on GRIN – with the same care, the same aspiration and the promise to accompany you all the way.
"Many of our authors have been working successfully with GRIN in the academic field for years – and have often wished to be able to publish their non-academic books with us. We are now fulfilling this wish: With our new self-publishing offer, we are opening up GRIN to anyone who wants to publish their stories, experiences or specialist topics independently."
Why write a book – and why now?
A book is more than a product. It is an expression of personality, knowledge and creativity. Many people carry around thoughts for years that actually belong on paper. And often it is a single impulse that makes the beginning: a sentence, an experience, a desire to leave traces. But the path from writing to publishing can seem long and confusing. Questions arise:
- How do I find the right publisher?
- Do I have to design my book myself?
- How do I reach readers?
- How much does it all cost?
The good news is that you don’t have to walk this path alone.
Self-publishing at GRIN – an offer for authors with high standards
At GRIN, self-publishing does not mean “do everything yourself”, but rather: We do it together. We offer you the best of both worlds – the freedom to bring your ideas to life and the support of an experienced publishing team.
What you can expect in concrete terms

From the first contact to publication, you will have a fixed contact person at your side. No anonymous processes, no mass processing – but real cooperation at eye level.
- Professional Design & Layout
We design your book professionally – individually tailored to your genre, your style and your target group. Cover, typesetting, format: everything gets the attention it deserves.
- Optional editing/proofreading
Would you like to have your manuscript optimized in terms of language or content? Our editing team takes care of it – sensitively, precisely and in the service of your text.
- Fair remuneration
You will receive up to 50 % fee – transparent and comprehensible. You earn money from your book – not just any platform.
- Worldwide visibility
Your book will be published as an e-book and printed edition (print-on-demand) – with its own ISBN and distribution via Amazon, Thalia, Google Play and over 300 other online shops worldwide.
- Open to all genres
GRIN is open to diversity: fiction, biographies, children’s books, guidebooks, poetry, non-fiction – everything is welcome.
You write. We’ll take care of the rest.
Maybe writing is a creative outlet for you. Perhaps a professional step, a legacy, a project of the heart. Whatever moves you: It deserves professional implementation.
Many platforms in the self-publishing sector rely on fully automated processes. The thought: upload, publish, done. But it is often the very thing that makes your book special that falls by the wayside – namely you.
At GRIN, we take a close look and guide you through all the steps – so that your book is read, found and appreciated.
