Freelance Author

Inspiring stories are Manu Lieflaender's great passion. Even as a teenager, she put together a team of graphic designers, sacrificed her savings (and those of her best friend) and launched her own music magazine. A publishing house became aware of the magazine and the unconventional interviews and brought out the follow-up title with Manu as editor-in-chief. When the publisher fell ill, she decided to continue writing as a freelancer for various music magazines such as “Metal Hammer” (Axel Springer). She interviewed well-known artists and bands such as Metallica, Eminem, Rammstein, Bela B. (Die Ärzte), Korn, etc. When the era of “real” rock stars had come to an end and new bands only seemed interesting because of their image, Manu devoted herself to her second passion: dogs and horses. She initially remained loyal to the celebrity sector and spoke to the stars about their four-legged companions for various magazines. A short time later, the animal bond became a lifestyle. The thematic portfolio of the certified dog psychologist and horsewoman includes advice texts as well as reports on animal-friendly travel destinations and in-depth experience reports.
