Hey everyone, my name is Urs and I’m one of the co-founders of Indiecon, an independent publishing festival based in Hamburg, Germany.
We especially feature projects and publications that advocate for political, cultural and societal change or promote deeper insights into topics that might otherwise be overlooked – as well as enterprises that explore alternative economic models for sustaining their publishing practice (e.g. collectives, cooperatives or community-driven initiatives).
Since at least some of them (like our friends at Surplus magazine) are using Ghost as a platform (and Ghost itself feels like a good fit for this ecosystem), I thought this might be a place to share an invitation to likeminded publishers & projects. Especially since there’s Travel Grant this year for publishers from outside of Germany (see https://indiecon-festival.diebrueder.com/travel-grant-2026)
Would be happy to hear from any of you, you can also check in via Mail → us@diebrueder.com
All the best!
Urs
