Det aarhusianske forlag Herman & Frudit

Det aarhusianske forlag Herman & Frudit is a small independent Danish publishing house based in Aarhus. It was founded in 2017 by Lonni Birch and Thomas Pedersen, and its first release was Simon Grotrian's poetry collection "Mit nøgne hjerte". The publisher describes itself as a curated, independent publishing venture founded with the rather banal ambition of building a library for future classics. The house concentrates almost exclusively on poetry, verse and lyric writing — and on books about poetry, verse and lyric writing. Since 2018 it has published a broad range of Danish poets, including Peter Laugesen, Simon Grotrian, Charlotte Strandgaard, Juliane Preisler, Christoffer Thunbo Pedersen, Eske K. Mathiesen, Janus Kodal, Morten Søndergaard, Madame Nielsen, Suzanne Brøgger, Peter Nielsen, Annemette Kure Andersen, Knud Sørensen, Ursula Andkjær Olsen, Liv Ea, Per Aage Brandt, Anna Malan Jógvansdóttir, Søren R. Fauth, Josefine Olsen, Christoffer W Bjerregaard, Aske Tolsgaard, Susanne Jorn, Sebastian Bune and Sofie Hermansen Eriksdatter. A distinctive feature of the publisher's output is that all of its books are signed by the author in the first printing; the first editions are numbered and signed. Titles sold through its own webshop include Sten Kaalø's "Dansen", Annemette Kure Andersen's "Tidsrum", Martin Glaz Serup's "29 digte, eller Det var aldrig rigtig mørkt", Tomas Lagermand Lundme's "Shelter", Morten Søndergaard and Lukas Lund's "Forsøg på at aflytte et sted i Paris / Forsøg på at lytte med et sted i Paris", and "Sortehav". Books are typically priced around 200–250 DKK, and the shop offers free shipping within Denmark from 499 DKK, delivered via PostNord. The publisher positions itself as "a haunt for the small and large poetry collections" (Et stamsted for de små og store digtsamlinger), and its catalogue is supported in part by public cultural funding, such as Aarhus Kommunes Kulturudviklingspulje. It remains a small, privately held, independent literary imprint rather than part of a larger media group.

Det aarhusianske forlag Herman & Frudit was founded in 2017 in Aarhus, Denmark, by Lonni Birch and Thomas Pedersen. Its first publication was Simon Grotrian's poetry collection "Mit nøgne hjerte". The publisher was established with what its own website calls a rather banal ambition: to create a library for future classics. From the outset the house focused almost exclusively on poetry, verse and lyric writing, and on books about poetry. From 2018 onward it built a catalogue of Danish poets, publishing authors such as Peter Laugesen, Simon Grotrian, Charlotte Strandgaard, Juliane Preisler, Christoffer Thunbo Pedersen, Eske K. Mathiesen, Janus Kodal, Morten Søndergaard, Madame Nielsen, Suzanne Brøgger, Peter Nielsen, Annemette Kure Andersen, Knud Sørensen, Ursula Andkjær Olsen, Liv Ea, Per Aage Brandt, Anna Malan Jógvansdóttir, Søren R. Fauth, Josefine Olsen, Christoffer W Bjerregaard, Aske Tolsgaard, Susanne Jorn, Sebastian Bune and Sofie Hermansen Eriksdatter. A defining practice of the publisher is that all of its books are signed by the author in the first printing, with first editions numbered and signed. The house operates its own webshop, selling titles such as Sten Kaalø's "Dansen", Annemette Kure Andersen's "Tidsrum", Martin Glaz Serup's "29 digte, eller Det var aldrig rigtig mørkt", Tomas Lagermand Lundme's "Shelter", Morten Søndergaard and Lukas Lund's "Forsøg på at aflytte et sted i Paris / Forsøg på at lytte med et sted i Paris", and "Sortehav". Books are typically priced around 200–250 DKK, with free shipping in Denmark from 499 DKK via PostNord. Some publications are supported by public cultural funding, such as Aarhus Kommunes Kulturudviklingspulje. The publisher describes itself as "a haunt for the small and large poetry collections" and continues to operate as a small, independent, privately held literary imprint based in Aarhus.
