The Edition Atelier is a mid-1980s in Vienna by its author, journalist and politician Joerg Mauthe Called into life book publishing , which is directed by Sarah Legler and Jorghi Poll since 2011 that put an emphasis on contemporary literature.

history

Mauthe founded the cultural-political journal Wiener Journal in 1980 , to which Edition Atelier was then affiliated. The programmatic focus was initially on Austrian literature, cultural and political history; around four to five books were published each year. The culture editor David Axmann was one of the first employees of the publishing house. After Mauthe's death in 1986, Axmann took on more editing and editing activities.

The Wiener Journal was discontinued as an independent publication in 2002. Like Edition Atelier , it was taken over by the Wiener Zeitung . Edition Atelier has been independent of the Wiener Zeitung again since 2011 . Jorghi Poll took over the management of the publishing house, together with the literary scholar Sarah Legler since 2013.

Since the takeover by Jorghi Poll and Sarah Legler, the focus of the edition has been on contemporary German-language literature. In addition to novels by authors such as Hanno Millesi , Wolfgang Popp and Eva Schörkhuber , numerous debut novels have also been published so far, for example by Mascha Dabić and Martin Peichl . The novel trilogy by the Moravian- born author Ilse Tielsch , who previously published the novel The Last Year , has been re- published since spring 2019 .

Another focus is on Austrian literature from the 20th century. Works by Else Feldmann , Dorothea Zeemann , Hans Weigel and Joseph Roth could be reissued under the editorship of Alexander Kluy . The cultural journalist Adolf Opel re- published books by Lina Loos and the long-lost novel by Bohuslav Kokoschka , brother of the Viennese painter Oskar Kokoschka , as part of the publishing program until his death in 2018 . The Carinthian Germanist Primus-Heinz Kucher has published the American novel Marylin by the journalist and theater man Arthur Rundt , and the literary scholar Evelyne Polt-Heinzl has edited the autobiographical novel The Dark Years by the Austrian editor and writer Friederike Manner alongside Oskar Jan Tauschinski's novel Talmi .

Furthermore, non-fiction books and essays in the field of culture are published. For example signatures of memory.
