Quickstart Verlag

Quickstart Verlag is a German independent publishing house based in Darmstadt that specialises in non-fiction and specialist books about music, the creation of music and adjacent creative topics. According to its own description, its programme covers titles around the making of music — from the classic songwriter to the club DJ — and its stated mission is to put demanding and complex subject matter into simple words so that readers can access the topics. The publisher places emphasis on typography, high-quality paper and durable bindings, presenting its books as a valuable companion for its target readership. The house publishes authors who understand their subject from practical experience and whose writing is intended to empower and inspire readers to create. A format developed specifically for this purpose, "Studiopockets", is designed so that instructions can be followed directly at the computer. For most titles, additional digital content is offered to extend the learning experience further. Quickstart Verlag was founded in 2008 and describes itself as 100% independent. It positions itself as an independent publisher that sees books beyond their purely economic potential, regarding it as important to gather knowledge for readers and curate it trustworthily, thereby contributing to the cultural shaping of both the book market and music creation. This approach is said to be reflected both in the editorial preparation and in the graphic design of its titles. As an independent publisher it is not part of a corporate group, and no parent company or owner is disclosed in the available evidence.
