The subject Verlag is a German small publishing house based in Bremen .
history
The publishing house was founded in 1996 by Madjid Mohit (also spelled Madjit Mohit ), who comes from an Iranian publishing family and came to Germany as a political refugee in 1990, as a sole proprietorship and was converted into a limited liability company in 2012 . The managing director is Madjid Mohit.
Sujet Verlag specializes primarily in literature by foreign authors who do not live in their home country and do not want or cannot publish there. Both works by politically persecuted writers, most of whom live in exile in Germany , as well as Persian literature in German and German literature in Persian are published. The publisher himself describes this literature as “aerial root literature”, which he defines as cross-border literature and in which, in contrast to exile literature, “the enriching aspect of exile is in the foreground”. It works regardless of location and is written “by authors who live and are on the move with two or more languages and cultures”.
In addition to these prose works , other publications focus on poetry , children's books and non-fiction .
The publisher's authors include Adonis , Pegah Ahmadi , Doğan Akhanlı , Jürg Beeler , Maïssa Bey , Inge Buck , Joachim Fischer , Birgid Hanke , Tizia Koese , Widad Nabi , Oded Netivi , Amir Shaheen , Suleman Taufiq , Fariba Vafi , Heide Marie Voigt , Jörg Wollenberg and Gerrit Wustmann .
Sujet Verlag currently publishes poetry and prose, as well as some non-fiction books, with currently six freelancers. Around 20 new titles, a literature calendar and two follow-up editions appeared in 2019. There were also around 60 events with the publisher's authors and translators. In total, the publishing program at the end of 2015 comprised over 150 titles.
