Interviews, features, podcasts, citations. German spoken or written. English written only. Fast reply for time-sensitive requests if you say so up front.
// Before you pitch · the press kit Read the press kit first. Boilerplate, three copy-ready bio lengths, citation templates, and the four V5 PDFs that every interview, feature, or citation needs to be grounded in. Skip the press kit, miss the doctrine. Open press kit →Every meaningful interview about Post-Hype Realism starts from the same four documents. They are not optional supporting material. They are the material. A pitch that does not engage with at least one of them tells the inbox the writer has not done the work.
The Manifesto V5.02 is CC BY-NC 4.0 for quoting and citation. The other three V5 PDFs (Origin, Digital Exorcism, Reaper Ray) are all rights reserved but freely citable under journalistic Fair Use with attribution. The press kit has the full citation templates.
// What this coversInterviews on the record. Background quotes. Podcast appearances. Citations in academic or journalistic work. Op-ed contributions where the topic fits the doctrine. Image rights for editorial use.
// Languages and availabilityGerman. Spoken or written. Podcasts, on-record video, phone, in-person interviews are all fine. The mother tongue carries the doctrine cleanest.
English. Written only. Email interviews, written quote-Q&A, citation-only contributions. No live audio or video in English at this time. The mother tongue is closer to the wound; the English version is closer to the reader, but only on the page.

Pre-publication veto. The work does not pre-approve your story. You write what you observe.
Friendly-only coverage. Critical pieces are welcome. The doctrine is a target, not a person. Aim there.
