Publisher Brands
Since our beginnings in the 1950s, we have developed into a broad-based media group. A look at the individual brands and holdings reveals the full spectrum of our publishing company.

F. Unger.

LYX publishes novels, nonfiction, and graphic novels for New Adults. We don't see New Adults as a genre, but as a target group that bridges the gap between young adult fiction and adult women's entertainment. At LYX, we give New Adults the visibility and appreciation they deserve - with books that are precisely tailored to them, both in terms of content and appearance.
ONE publishes books for Young Adult readers. We build a bridge for the large target group that has outgrown children's books but does not yet feel ready for New Adult or adult literature. In our ONE books, we depict the lifeworlds of 14-19 year-olds - with authors whom the target group also follows on social media.
| Quadriga publishes voices that need to be heard. The publishing house for socio-political non-fiction, as a forum for discussion and diversity of opinion. For strong, even provocative theses, well-founded analyses on topics from society, the economy and the environment. Our Quadriga books offer orientation and arguments; they are read to understand our complex world. |
One of the central topics of our society is sustainability. We at smarticular have dedicated ourselves to this topic. We publish titles from the areas of nutrition, gardening, family, health, household, creativity and shopping, and with our guidebooks we provide valuable assistance in the conscious use of resources and promote mindfulness towards the environment.
