Hans-Peter Übleis, who was publisher of Droemer Knaur for nearly 20 years, is rejoining Holtzbrinck. In the newly created position, he will focus on getting German authors published by Droemer Knaur, Kiepenheuer & Witsch, Rowohlt and S. Fischer published in English-language markets in translation.
Joerg Pfuhl, CEO of Holtzbrinck Germany, said, "We are convinced of the quality of our German authors and believe that intensifying our efforts in foreign markets can significantly increase their opportunities abroad, particularly in the U.S., the U.K. and worldwide in English translations. Hans-Peter Übleis has published over 100 German #1 bestsellers throughout his career. With his long standing industry experience and his successful career as a publisher, he is uniquely positioned to support our authors and publishers in these efforts."
