Partial order stop

Due to a (partial) reorientation and for reasons of time, I have not accepted any new e-sports orders since March 2022. I would like to thank all partners/customers for the great time!


However, orders for non-academic ghostwriting can be placed again. I had worked in this area until early/mid-2019 and would now like to do so again. Please refer to this page.


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, continuous and/or permanent orders will be processed as usual. This includes in particular teaching activities, the updating of selected publications, editing, expert inquiries and advice.

  • What happens to orders that have already been placed?

    Of course, I will process orders that have already been placed as agreed. Should I not be able to do this due to new obligations outside of e-sports, I would organize a replacement within my e-sports network if the customer/partner agrees - and if necessary I would work to support it. Possibly I would also pass on the preparatory work that I have already done for all assignments (all assignments have already started and are in progress). This applies in particular to orders for textbooks (Euro-FH, IU). Since I will not be updating this website for the time being, the relevant references (applies only to Euro-FH and IU) are to be understood as a forecast or "was given and would have happened if there had not been any overlapping in time in the professional replanning". .

  • Are no new orders accepted at all?

    No new orders will be accepted anymore. For example, I turned down an order for three short textbooks (approx. EUR 22,000) or an offer to teach at an international trainer training course, which I was offered 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. For example, I placed textbook orders with JanaANG and Skillshot Consulting. I don't know anyone who maps everything holistically, but I can always put you in touch with specialists in certain sub-areas.

  • 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 in voluntary work.

  • 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.
