Scope & Skills

People look to us for high quality prose and creative advice. At heart we are an editorial bureau supplying text and images, with a focus on European culture and travel. We also provide consultancy services in the travel area. We have also worked on projects relating to cultural heritage, educational development and Europe’s minority languages.

In short, we are flexible. If a client wants bold and assertive prose, that’s what we provide. But if the situation demands something more nuanced, then we rise to the occasion and supply text that is balanced and evocative – words worth reading still matter in our world.

Our small team is multi-talented and boasts a number of specialist interests:

• Issues of culture and community in remote and rural areas of Europe
• The economic and social dynamics of border regions
• Rail and ferry transport with emphasis on community development aspects of transport projects
• Diaspora communities and minorities in Europe

But we span a wide field so think of hidden europe as being the team that combines impeccable research, well-penned prose and sparkling images.

We are also known of course as publishers, and primarily for hidden europe magazine of which we have published thirty-six issues thus far - and more are in the pipeline. But that is just the tip of the iceberg. Last year we took over the editorship of Thomas Cook’s Europe by Rail — The Definitive Guide for Independent Travellers. The thirteenth edition was published on 5 March 2012.

We also supply articles for various European media and we provide packaged solutions for other publishers. Over the last five years, over 800 articles written in-house at our Berlin offices have been published in English by media around the world. And some of our work has been translated into Polish, Ukrainian, Spanish, Basque, German, Italian and Bulgarian.
