More recently, it has branched out into such diverse areas as biography and memoirs, cli-fi and YA, photography and politics, and – under its imprint Barzipan – romance and humor. Through its sister company, Synthetic Press based in Berlin, most titles are simultaneously produced as e-books and many have their own websites.
