Carya Gish now has an author page on the Squid Publishing Inc website!
We are thrilled to be in such good company: Ignite Books, Steve Pottinger and Joolz Denby are on there as well! 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!)
4/3/2014 Extracts uploaded!We have now uploaded an extract of each novel.
Go to each novel's page to read the free extracts. Enjoy! I Am a Muse The Book of Thoth The Right Place 3/31/2014 Matt ArtPix's new seriesCarya Gish is polishing off The Book of Thoth, and therefore not blogging as much at the moment. Arcane Publishing and Matt ArtPix are also taking a break from fairs and markets. This doesn't mean nothing is happening behind the scenes!
Matt ArtPix is working on a new series of images, Southend postcards... He regularly posts updates about the designs, so head to his blog to read more about it! More news about our various activities soon! 3/24/2014 Arcane Publishing Online shopIt has been a bit quiet on here, but we are working hard behind the scenes!
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! 3/3/2014 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! |
