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! 3/17/2014 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...
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! 12/2/2013 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...
