The leaves are turning, and so are the pages here at Donkey Books. We’re thrilled to share an update on our incredible summer and exciting plans for the fall. It's been a season of immense growth and visibility, and it's all thanks to your support and our amazing authors.

Over the past quarter, we've been busy bringing our unique stories to new audiences. Our books were spotlighted by Oneindig Noord-Holland, and we took to the airwaves with an appearance on the Daily Channel FM podcast. We also made a huge splash with five full pages in the NGV Amstelland chapter (no. 137, September 2025), with more publications coming soon, including in Werkgroep Duitsland (Gens Germana).
|
|
We also connected with you in person at the Beverwijk Uit de Kunst cultural market where we hosted a book stall and a lecture on self-publishing. These initiatives are all part of our mission to ensure that our authors' voices are heard far and wide.
|
|
To support this momentum, we've completely revamped our website! Our new online home is designed to make it even easier for you to discover our books, connect with our community, and get exclusive access to valuable content. It’s more than just a site; it's a central hub for all things Donkey Books, built to enhance your reading journey.

Die Veröffentlichung von Band 1: Bauerschaft Mimmelage (bis 1236) markiert einen Wendepunkt in der Historiographie des Artlandes.

Die „Artland-Aggregations-Matrix“ hat Muster freigelegt, die jahrhundertelang unter einer Decke von Verallgemeinerungen verborgen blieben.Im …
