7/26/2020 We're back! Watch this space... After taking a short break, we are back!
A lot of things are happening at the Arcane/ArtPix HQ, and we will be spending the next few weeks plotting our next moves, even though things are still pretty much up in the air with the pandemic... Miss Gish is still aiming at completing the first draft of The Right Place in December 2020 with a provisional pub date of January 2022. We have decided to wait until next year before we launch the Arcane Publishing online shop as things are still too vague at the moment with the COVID-19 crisis and Brexit. Watch this space! 7/10/2020 Introducing... The ArtPix Magazine! Matt ArtPix, who is also the designer and typesetter for all our books, flyers, promo material and more, has just completed his lockdown project: Issue 1 of his very own magazine! The ArtPix Magazine is a "Vintage-themed magazine by Matt ArtPix, with articles and features including music, classic movies, retro football, plus photos and digital artwork." Have a Look-see, it's rather fab! The focus of the mag is colourful design, and Matt has designed the pages to all look different, and he has experimented with various styles... Issue 2 is already being put together as we speak! It has given us the idea to produce a teaser booklet for our third publication The Right Place on Issuu, hopefully by the end of August. Watch this space! You can read the full magazine for free HERE! Here's a sneak preview of a few pages...     6/29/2020 Discount on damaged copies of The Book of Thoth and more novels in our unit in West Bay... A burst pipe in the Arcane Publishing office has damaged some of our stock!
2020 just keeps on giving, doesn't it? We therefore have nine copies of The Book of Thoth for sale at a massive discounted price and I will be putting them in our unit in West Bay this week. This breaks our heart as printing this book has been a big expense, but we do not wish to flog damaged copies at full price. We are also freeing some shelf space in our HQ and will be adding loads of novels to the bookshelf in the unit. The selling prices will be between 50p and £2, so if you are on holiday in West Dorset and haven't got anything to read, then head down to West Bay this weekend and you'll find some replenished shelves waiting for you! We are a bit gutted as we have lost three pretty good items of stock due to the leak, but it could have been worse. And we've had to empty the whole office so we've got a lot of sorting out to do once the floorboards and carpet have dried out! 6/19/2020 SPRING SHOPPING 22 - Camp by Mark Booth
