order stop

Beginning of March 2022: Due to a (partial) reorientation and for reasons of time, I will no longer accept any commercial and/or paid orders until further notice. I would like to thank all partners/customers for the great time! Requests for free orders are still possible.


This website will remain online as a portfolio and reference as well as a contact option.


April 2022: The order stop relates to the non-continuous/ongoing offers and references presented on this website. Orders for non-academic ghostwriting can be given again. I had worked in this area until early/mid-2019 and would now like to do so again. In doing so, I generally set high ethical standards for ghostwriting. This means that I only write for people, organizations and companies that respect human rights themselves and in their supply chains. Additionally, I do not write for the following industries: guns, tobacco, alcohol, adult entertainment, animal testing, gambling, and high-risk financial services. Furthermore, I do not write any scientific work of any kind for third parties and report corresponding inquiries. In addition, I attach great importance to the fact that at least one pseudonym of mine is mentioned as a ghostwriter in a text that I have written, in order to remain honest with the reader. All of these standards are non-negotiable.


Order Stop FAQ

Questions and answers about (partial) inactivity

  • Why is there an order stop?

    In 2022, I decided to be more active again as a ghostwriter (non-academic projects, including HR) and also more in my actual main job (HR, human resources, including scientific project work). This would not be possible if I continued to accept new orders, since even the continuous processing of existing partnerships and projects takes up enough time. Additional information can be found in this guest contribution.

  • What happens to continuous orders?

    Ongoing and permanent orders are processed as usual. This includes in particular teaching activities, the updating of selected publications, editing, expert inquiries and advice.

  • Are no new orders accepted at all?

    No new orders will be accepted anymore. For example, I turned down an order for three textbooks (approx. EUR 22,000) that the IU International University of Applied Sciences offered me shortly after the order was stopped.

  • What will happen in the future?

    There are currently no plans to accept new orders in the future. Passive income and ongoing projects remain unaffected.

  • Which inquiries can still be made?

    You are welcome to continue to contact me. Since I no longer accept new orders, I can at least offer to spread and network corresponding inquiries in my e-sports network.

  • Will there be a complete withdrawal from e-sports?

    No, I will not completely retire from e-sports. I will continue to be active in e-sports, especially in research, science, writing, as a speaker and as a volunteer.

  • What happens to the published books?

    All of my publications remain available as usual and can either be purchased (bookshops, online) or used free of charge (university libraries).

  • Help is needed, what to do?

    I am happy to continue to be available for assistance - as far as time permits.
