12/12/2013 Extracts12/2/2013 End of the year...It is nearly the end of the year and Arcane Publishing goes into plotting mode for the next few weeks...
Arcane Publishing was born in July 2012, and in April 2013, we published our first book, I Am a Muse, by Carya Gish and attended our first literary festival! We still have a lot to learn about the publishing business and we are taking things very, very slowly, especially as we prefer to support independent booksellers, don't publish e-books and don't want to get ripped off by big distributors and online shops. So here is what we are going to do: Carya Gish needs to find some time to finish that very late first draft of The Book of Thoth... This is what happens when authors need to work at something else to pay the bills! But we are adamant that our second novel should be out by next December, and therefore The Book of Thoth will be out next autumn. Some further work on our publishing plan will involve planning for The Right Place, including applying for an Arts Council Grant - if we manage to understand the very complicated application form... We would like this book to be published in early 2016 at the latest. Also next year, we will be promoting I Am a Muse and Arcane Publishing in London and expanding the second-hand book side of things. Arcane Publishing will book stalls at various events over the next year, some will be in collaboration with Matt ArtPix, but we also would like to book our own space whenever possible in order to give the imprint a little bit more visibility. We will be doing a book listing in this website ready for early next year. And we need to think about the feasibility of an online shop! In the meantime, head to Carya Gish's blog where she will carry on blogging about writing, culture, music and more in the next few weeks... See you all in 2014! 11/21/2013 SHORELINES VIDEOMETAL presents : Shorelines from Sparky Film on Vimeo. Metal have just posted a fab video of Shorelines: Literature festival of the sea by Sparky Film.

I Am a Muse was in very good company in the bookshop! Carya Gish will post an "insider report" on her website this week, and we will post a link here when it's done! 11/3/2013 Shorelines is this week!So the Shorelines festival is this weekend (Friday 8th-Sunday 10th November) and we at Arcane Publishing are ready albeit nervous!
On Sunday 10th November, between 1pm and 3pm (Room 7), Carya Gish will be reading the first pages of her third novel, The Right Thing, which will be published in 2016 - it is at the research stage at the moment and will be for the forthcoming year! There will be copies of I Am a Muse for sale in the bookshop the whole weekend - at a special festival price! - and we hope to have our brand new flyers ready for the event! 10/20/2013 The Book of Thoth final front coverMatt ArtPix has been hard at work on some promo material and The Book of Thoth cover...

We are now ready for Shorelines! 10/1/2013 Shorelines festival full programmeArcane Publishing is still on holiday but we wanted to let you know that the FULL PROGRAMME for Shorelines 2013: Literature festival of the sea is now available.
Carya Gish will be reading the opening page of her third novel, The Right Place. We hope that copies of her first novel, I Am a Muse, will be on sale at the festival's bookshop. More details on our return! 9/20/2013 Off line!Arcane Publishing will be offline for two weeks!
We are going to Dorset - where our third book, The Right Place, will be set - to find inspiration... When we come back, it will be only a month until Shorelines: Festival of Literature of The Sea. This autumn/winter, we will also be doing more promotion for the imprint and study our options for development... The first draft of The Book of Thoth is nearing completion, but it is behind schedule again... We are still aiming for an autumn 2014 publishing date though! |
