4/4/2014 To Devon we go!Over the next few days, the Arcane Publishing team will be having a break away from our crowded South-East - and our desks! - to enjoy the fresh air and wild landscape of North Devon!
We will be back next week with - we hope - some news about our books and online shop! 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 Matt ArtPix has been hard at work on the style sheet for The Book of Thoth. We still have a few things to sort out, but it is looking good...
More to come soon... 1/19/2014 The Book of Toth updateThe first draft of The Book of Thoth is now finished!
Go and have a look at Carya Gish's BLOG for more details... A lot of things are happening and we still hope to be able to publish The Book of Thoth, our second title, in December 2014! So we have started the long, long process necessary to try and obtain permission to print the lyrics of PJ Harvey's The Wind in Carya Gish's third novel, The Right Place.
Island Records have answered, so one point for us. BUT they told us that we needed to contact PJ Harvey's music publisher - so not Island Records - and that for this particular track, there were TWO writers so I had to contact TWO separate companies... I think they were referring to the fact that the song apparently contains portions of "Planet of The Apes" by Jerry Goldsmith - I didn't know that - although I am not sure how this would be linked to permission to print lyrics... I know this is a bit crazy because we have a sneaky suspicion that 1) It probably won't lead to anything as PJ Harvey is now huge and 2) the price will be so high that it will be impossible for us to print them. Ideally, we'd like to have the whole song. Realistically, if we are granted permission, it will probably end up being for one stanza of the song, which we'd be more than happy to settle with. We need to know how much this potentially would be as we might apply for an Arts Council Grant and we have to put a budget together. We'd be so chuffed to get permission to use the lyrics! |
