With the “Der Autor” app, Benedikt Schmidt brings his literature to all smartphones. He also makes them available to non-readers of books. The app contains many short stories, text fragments, scenes and lyrical works that Schmidt wrote exclusively for the format. They should inspire, amuse, stimulate thought and entertain the readers intellectually but just as entertainingly.

"The Author" receives regular updates and is designed as a literary companion.

The big topic of Benedikt Schmidt's literature is German society in urban and rural areas. He explores and dissects them through poetry, short stories, plays, radio plays and stories - and at the same time always his own story. Schmidt's style is humorous, poetic, rich in puns, full of chains of associations, melancholic, critical, sometimes angry, sometimes abstract and always intense.
