Magellan Verlag

The Publishing House and Its History
A warm "ahoy" from Magellan, the independent children's and young adult publishing house with the whale. At our innovative book workshop in Bamberg, we create books, games, and other beautiful, creative products. We founded the publishing house on December 17, 2012, and launched our first titles in autumn 2014. Our books are for everyone from ages 2 to New Adult.

Program
Topics close to everyday life for all age groups are particularly important to us. We aim to connect with children and young adults on their level, both in terms of content and language. Our creatives tell stories grounded in reality that offer something special, such as exciting road trips, diverse family constellations, big and small adventures, touching destinies, and the madness of everyday life.
In addition to children's books, our portfolio ranges from young adult literature to the New Adult segment. We prioritize addressing current topics such as mental health, diversity, identity exploration, and environmental protection when selecting our content.
Our team consists of experienced professionals as well as debut authors, ensuring all of this. Our main focus is on German-speaking authors. Together, we develop innovative ideas and concepts and explore new directions.
Since 2016, our book program has included games. In addition to memory and card games for young players, our program now includes board games and puzzles that entertain the whole family.
