Blumenbar

Blumenbar Verlag GmbH&Co KG is a small avantgarde publishing house in Germany. Blumenbar is German for "bar of flowers", alluding its beginnings in the Blumenstraße close to the Viktualienmarkt in Munich in 2002. The two founders, Lars Birken-Bertsch and Wolfgang Farkas, publish non-mainstream authors such as Matias Faldbakken or Tracey Emin. The graphic design of the books (by Chrish Klose) is especially noted. In 2009, Blumenbar moved to Berlin. Since March 2012, Blumenbar has continued as an imprint of the Berlin-based Aufbau-Verlag.

An imprint is a brand inside a larger publishing house, often with its own editors and list. Imprints of large groups usually acquire through literary agents; read recent titles to see whether your book fits the list, then target agents who sell to it.
