He also helps shape the content and framework of media work. The press and public relations department promotes awareness of the association and the free editing service among the general public and clients. In addition, the Lektorenverband maintains contacts to training institutions and other associations such as the book women and the German book trade association . In his publication he provides information about working as a lecturer and freelance work.

Members are supported by networking, professional training, legal advice, advice on artists' social insurance and information about freelance work.

The association is divided into a board of directors, a regional council and regional groups; other activists are involved in networks and in areas such as advanced training and artists' social insurance . The seat of the association is Frankfurt a. M.
