mensura has high standards regarding entertainment and like to give its readers a
cause to think, to reflect.
In 2005 Sami Mensura and Arno Gassmann worked together on a literary project for which they sought and found a platform: mensura. The winged ape armed with a pencil "Louie 1000" is our logo created by the artist Gonzalo Moldonado Morales. This logo embodies our departure from conventional ways of thinking.
mensura sees itself as the antithesis of the contemporary literary scene that is controlled ever more tightly by the profit motive. We want to offer unknown writers a forum that allows them to position themselves outside the industry, but still present their work to the public regardless of roots and past and without them being dependent of the goodwill of accountants a nd shareholder investors.
mensura does not demand payment in advance from authors for publishing. We simply want to spotlight new and exciting personalities. Our portfolio covers conventional print media, eBooks and audio booksl. We are amenable to other media suggestions.
We are convinced that everyone is an artist, but not everyone is a marketing genius. That's why mensura is part of a large artistic and marketing platform. That's why we use the segments of our business that generate higher returns to support less profitable segments so that the maximum number of artists can have its work presented to the public.
Let yourself be inspired by the courage of our authors and enjoy the quality of our program.
By telling others about us you help us make mensura a powerful force in the German publishing landscape. A landscape that is tending toward ever greater monopolies.
Power should flow from the public, from the audience and not from a handful of multi-media conglomerates!
"Louie 1000" has to fly!
