There is a small review of the Shorelines literary festival written by Carya Gish in issue 16 of Southend's cultural magazine, Level 4 (a longer report from the festival can be found HERE).
This should have been a printed magazine, but unfortunately the editor didn't receive enough advertising revenue to pay for the printing. The magazine is available to read online HERE. There are quite a few interesting articles in there so make sure you go and have a read! 4/24/2014 Book number five: some fresh ideas...Carya Gish has just had an idea for Book number 5! Head to her website to read all about it! (and yes, the The Hound of the Baskervilles cover is related to the blog!)
4/12/2014 Devon blogsThe Arcane Publishing team are back from Devon, and we have come back with some fresh ideas and some great vintage books! We've also blogged about it...
So go to MISS CARYA GISH'S BLOG to read about some great collectable books and to MATT ARTPIX'S BLOG for some stunning landscape photography and a very special scrapbook! 4/3/2014 Extracts uploaded!We have now uploaded an extract of each novel.

Arcane Publishing hope to open a small online shop this Spring/Summer where you will be able to purchase our original fiction and second-hand books. We will be working on this in the forthcoming weeks and hope to be open for business in July latest! We also hope to be present at more fairs and events with Matt ArtPix this year. We are looking at various options before making any bookings and we will make announcements about this in the forthcoming weeks. Stay tuned! The Book of Thoth news: still on schedule for a late autumn 2014 publication! 3/17/2014 Crook Log picturesArcane Publishing and Matt ArtPix are taking a break from fairs and markets to plot their next move! We hope to bring you some more news soon...
In the meantime, draft 3 of The Book of Thoth is going well - one copy is with our reader! - and we hope to start typesetting the book at the end of June. We are still on schedule! Here are a few pictures of the Arcane Publishing stall at the Crook Log Antiques and collectors fair on Sunday 9th March. We hope to bring the stall to Central London by this summer. Watch this space! 3/3/2014 Next event! BexleyheathMatt ArtPix and Arcane Publishing had a great day yesterday at the first Southend Vintage and retro fair. I am sure this event would really grow if made regular! This would be great for us as we live about 10mn drive from the venue! This Sunday 9th March, it's something different: The Crook Log Antiques and Collectable Fair in Bexleyheath! This will be the first time that Arcane Publishing will have a whole stall, next to Matt ArtPix of course... I will have a slightly different stock, this time rarer books and some oddities - I will still bring a few of my classic cinema and fashion stock, though! Here is some of the stock I will take with me on Sunday! And of course, I will have a few copies of I Am a Muse...
2/18/2014 First fair of 2014 in Southend-on-SeaOur first fair of 2014 is a bit less than two weeks away now! It will be the Southend Vintage and Retro Fair organised by Haddon Events, and will be taking place at The Chase Sports and Fitness Centre in Prittlewell Chase.
Matt ArtPix and Arcane Publishing will be sharing a double stall, and we will have a few copies of I Am a Muse for sale at the event. For this fair, we will be concentrating on classic cinema and icons, as well as fashion. For our next event in Bexleyheath in London on March 9th, we will bring some rarer books on a wider range of subjects - but always concentrating mainly on music, entertainment, theatre and cinema. We will post a specific blog about this event next week, but I can already tell you that Arcane Publishing will have its own stall, and therefore will be able to spread out the books a little and be more creative with the display. It will be a trial run for some more Arcane Publishing stalls in the future! Matt ArtPix and Arcane Publishing hope to start trading at Old Spitalfields Market soon - we need to sort out the logistics first! Arcane Publishing's ambition is to launch a small pop-up bookshop one day (probably next year!)... Watch this space! A sneak peek at our stock for next week: 1/20/2014 Arcane Publishing on the move...Arcane Publishing is going abroad for a week to do a bit of market research for the imprint and (maybe) stock up on some great ephemera and second-hand books for our stall.
When we're back, we will get ready for our first vintage and antique fairs of 2014 and book some more! In other news, Draft 2 of The Book of Thoth is under way, and Matt ArtPix is trying out a few typesetting ideas for the book... We are really excited about our second publication! 1/13/2014 First events of 2014 announced!Arcane Publishing is pleased to announce its first events of 2014!
We are starting on home turf, and will be appearing at the Southend Vintage Fair, Chase Sports Centre, Southend-on-Sea; I will be sharing a stall with my partner Matt ArtPix. Then a first for Arcane Publishing: we will have our own stall at the Crook Log Antiques and collectables fair at the Crook Log leisure centre in Bexleyheath. At those events, we will be selling a great selection of second-hand and vintage books - some rare! - and of course, copies of I Am a Muse. We are in the process of booking some more events, especially in London. We will keep you updated. Do check our events page regularly for more dates! |
