7/10/2013 A bit more promo!This Saturday is Village Green, the arts and music festival organised by Metal Southend.
The culture magazine Level 4 has produced a pocket edition of the mag, and in there, you should find a review of I Am a Muse, as well as an ad for Arcane Publishing and one for Matt ArtPix! A French friend has an online bookshop and has kindly accepted to trial I Am a Muse there. Therefore, I am a Muse is available to purchase on Amazon via his shop and on Ebay. Amazon lists the book as being in French language - a bug in the system - but it is in English!
We've had to increase the price as it is sold across the world with free postage - so we had to take postage to the US etc. into account! Also, this bookshop is a proper business and the complex software used to put it all together is quite expensive... We thought it would be good exposure though, and you never know... 6/20/2013 First ideas for The Book of Thoth cover!Here are a few very first ideas for The Book of Thoth cover by designer Matt ArtPix.
I love the fact that he has gone for the opposite of what people would expect as a cover for a Gothic novel. The elements of the book we have here are: 1920s Art Deco, time travel, Ancient Egypt, All Seeing Eye. We've got a few more ideas in store for the whole cover and we hope to have the (almost) finished artwork ready for the literary festival Shorelines in November. 5/19/2013 Learning about publishingArcane Publishing has just purchased The Insider's Guide to Independent Publishing published by the Independent Publishers's Guild.
Concise and clear, it covers the basic aspects of setting up as a publisher today. We will be using it as a guide and reference from now on... 5/17/2013 Event tomorrow!Arcane Publishing will be at Dotty Sparkle's Vintage and Modern fair tomorrow in Thorpe Bay, Essex.
Free entry! We will be sharing a stall with the talented designer Matt ArtPix who does all the design for Arcane Publishing! We will be promoting I Am a Muse and selling copies at £6 (that's a discount of £1.99!). Arcane Publishing also sells great second-hand books: cinema, entertainment, fantasy, children's books, music... We are also building up a collection of great vintage novels. We might put them up on sale on day! 5/7/2013 Legal Deposit LibrariesJust to show that we have a lot yet to learn about publishing here at Arcane Publishing! We have received today a request from the ALDL (Agency for the Legal Deposit Libraries) for five copies of I Am a Muse. We only knew about sending a copy to The British Library, but didn't know about our books having to be made available to the Bodleian Library Oxford University, The Cambridge University Library, National Library of Scotland and Trinity College Dublin!
It feels odd, but satisfying. So Arcane Publishing will be back to the Post Office this week! 3/14/2013 Business cards!Our swanky brand new business cards have arrived!
They have been designed by our very own Matt ArtPix who has made them simple, colourful and playful... We do mean business, you know! 3/11/2013 0 Comments DIY promo for I Am a MuseSo here at Arcane publishing, we have been thinking, planning, plotting and getting our little hands dirty - literally.

We might be able to get some reviews/quotes in over the next months or so! bookmarks - we've designed it, now we need to find a printer! address labels and stickers - if we have to send the book to our customers, we will make sure the packaging is engaging! I Am a Muse promo booklet - this for events/literary festival(s); we would like to offer a few extras to go with the book, maybe a few extracts together with some artworks, photos, objects, collages, etc. that would provide an extra visual dimension to the story. We already have quite a few ideas... And we are looking for independent (book)shops that could stock the book... This will take time, but we will get there! Please keep an eye on the Purchasing our books page. We hope to start adding events/bookshops on there as soon as things get confirmed, and we will keep adding stockists on in the forthcoming months. 3/7/2013 I Am a Muse copies are here!We at Arcane Publishing are delighted to announce that we have now received 100 copies of our very first publication, I Am a Muse.
