The Publishing House and its History

Creating books and children’s media, motivating children to get active and stimulating their curiosity and creativity are the goals publisher Sebastian Zembol has committed to when establishing his publishing house in 2006. Several products were followed in 2009 by the first extensive list, among it the ›KeinBuch‹ series, which has since proved to become a bestseller. Currently the backlist consists of about 96 titles.

The unusual and high-quality publishing program of Mixtvision Verlag was recognized in 2009 by the Bavarian State Minstry of Culture and Education and awarded with the Bayerischer Kleinverlagspreis. In 2019 the publishing House was awarded with the Deutscher Verlagspreis.

Mixtvision produces and prints in Germany. Furthermore the publishing house is the initiator and sponsor of the Kinderkunsthaus, member of the Arbeitsgemeinschaft von Jugendbuchverlagen, sponsoring member of the Deutsche Akademie für Kinder- und Jugendliteratur member of the funding initiative of the Kurt Wolff Stiftung and sponsor of the initiative Buy local and Stiftung Lesen.

Program

Each year, Mixtvision publishes approximately 15 titles for children and young adults. The main focus is on quality entertainment, often actively involving the reader or viewer. On top of that, the publishing program, true to the name of the company, has a transmedia orientation. Mixtvision publishing uses a free approach to the book, exploring its boundaries and establishing new connections between different kinds of media. Almost every book is available as an eBook and some titles like the bestseller »Die große Wörterfabrik«, also as an app.

The Mixtvision list is characterized by a great artistic and creative variety. Among our original titles are successful children’s book series (“Mission Hollercamp”) or humorous early teen novels (“Bunte Fische überall”). Carefully selected licensed titles, like “Alice im Wunderland” (Alice Éditions, Belgium) or “Flora Salmanteri und die Mini-Piraten” (Otava, Finland) are added to the list each year.
