There's no question that Klaus Humann, Publisher of Aladin Verlag, is passionate about children's books and about illustration in particular. His innate curiosity has led him on a surprising and successful career path. Starting in nonfiction adult publishing, then riding high on global success of the Harry Potter and Twilight series, Humann is now on the lookout for unique children's books and surprising illustrators.
"If I publish books that could be number one in a lookalike contest for other successful illustrators, that would bore me," he said, in an interview with Publishing Perspectives.
