2/17/2021 We are back...It's been a while... We are back in business this February, albeit with a few changes.
Miss Gish is going back to the first draft of her third novel, The Right Place. We have decided to do things differently due to the uncertainty caused by the global pandemic, and we have scrapped the publishing schedule for the book (it was changed four times over the past few years) to give ourselves more flexibility. It will publish whenever it's ready and we have the budget to do so. Unfortunately, our pre-loved/vintage/rare books selling operations will not resume in the near future; we are waiting to see how things go once we get out of lockdown. This crisis has changed our plans for the future, and we cannot make decisions on anything yet. 1/2/2021 INTERMISSION: see you in February!12/11/2020 A break for Arcane!We are putting Arcane into hibernation until at least late February/early March whilst we try and find some funding for the imprint...
Over the next three weeks, Miss Gish will carry on working on The Right Place and hopes to make some progress. She will post a few updates on her blog, so so keep an eye out. Our partner in crime Matt ArtPix will carry on selling vintage items and art from the unit at The Customs House, but there won't be any Arcane stock in there anymore. We are working on some new plans which hopefully will come to fruition in the next year or so, but this will depend on the Covid situation and Brexit... Try and have a rest over the holidays and stay safe! We're in Tiers 2, which means that shops deemed "non-essential" can reopen!
