A New Milestone: Aktiokrat Publishes Its First Book in English

A small step for our readers, but a giant leap for our publishing house.

A New Milestone: Aktiokrat Publishes Its First Book in English

04.07.2026

Today marks not just the release of our first English-language book, but also the publication of the very first article in the English edition of the Aktiokrat Magazine. It is another milestone we are proud to celebrate.

With every new release, not only does our catalogue continue to grow, but so does Aktiokrat Publishing. Today, we are delighted to share another important step in our journey.

With The Riddle of Glenmore Castle, we are publishing our very first book in the English language.

It is no coincidence that the first novel in our series The Unpublished Cases of Sherlock Holmes is the one to take this step. The Riddle of Glenmore Castle marked the beginning of a journey that has since grown into an expanding collection of Sherlock Holmes adventures. Now, that same novel begins a second journey—reaching readers far beyond the German-speaking world.

For us, this English edition is far more than a translation. It represents the first step toward making our stories available to an international audience and continuing to develop Aktiokrat Publishing across language barriers.

The launch of our English magazine follows the same idea. We want to share not only our books, but also the stories behind them—the creative process, milestones, and the development of our publishing house—with readers around the world.

Of course, we are only at the beginning of that journey. Every publishing house starts with a single book, and every new chapter opens the door to new opportunities. With each release, we gain experience, refine our processes, and work toward sharing our stories with an ever-growing readership.

We would like to sincerely thank all our readers who have supported us along the way. Your enthusiasm and encouragement make milestones like this possible.

The Riddle of Glenmore Castle is much more than just a translated edition. It marks the beginning of a new chapter in the history of Aktiokrat Publishing—and we are excited to continue that journey together with you.

The first volume of our Sherlock Holmes series is now also available in English.

We wish all readers an enjoyable journey into the very first unpublished case of Sherlock Holmes.
