Hula Ink Publishing
The Hula Ink Team
A small publisher in Berlin
What is Hula Ink?
For certain projects, a few friends have joined him. Together we hope to publish more children’s books, books of poetry and illustrated books and videos.
Since then we have begun branching out into videos with our YouTube channel, and in the summer of 2023 we are publishing our first German-only book, “Don’t Eat the Menu,” with the print rights going to Langenscheidt.
E.T. Hansen is an American writer from Hawaii, where he foolishly spent his youth dreaming he was in Europe studying medieval literature.
When he finally made his dream come true, he fell in love and stay on, and has since written and published a dozen books of fiction and non-fiction in German as well as writing journalism and commentary for major German and American newspapers.
Today he lives in Berlin with his co-writer Astrid Ule.
