12/18/2025 We'll be back in 2026! We have had a very busy 2025, but it wasn't about book writing or selling...
We can now announce that we will be back in 2026 as we develop our bookselling business! I will be using this blog and that on the Arcane Publishing website more in the future as I don't think soial media is working. So watch this space, things will start moving from the end of January onwards! In the meantime, please check Instagram on @arcanepub 10/11/2025 Intermission Yet another intermission...
The writing/publishing side of Arcane Publishing has been on a hiatus for the past five years as we decide how best to move forward with Arcane Publishing. Sadly, publishing another indie title doesn't really make sense these days. In 2026, we will be concentrating on our pre-loved, vintage and rare books. The time is just not right at the moment (see this article in the publishing industry magazine The Bookseller). We are more active on our Instagram page HERE at the moment, so please go and have a look-see!  free stock photo by Geoffrey Whiteway We haven't posted on here for a long time, but finally, we are back! A lot has happened during out time away from the Arcane Publishing website - if you wish to get more up-to-date news though, then please follow our INSTAGRAM PAGE HERE. We try and post as regularly as possible! We are just coming back to Arcane Publishing properly this week, and we have started thinking about the next few months. All activity on the writing/publishing side of Arcane has been paused for the time being. We have decided to give priority to the development of the pre-loved, vintage and rare books side of Arcane. This winter, we will be working on developing our online bookshop which we hope to launch in early 2026. In the meantime, Arcane will be appearing with Matt ArtPix at two events this September with a small stock of books (see our Instagram for details!). These are two events we have done before and they are truly brilliant. We can't wait to be back in London and Brighton! We will be updating this website regularly over the next few months leading to the launch of the online shop (probably an Etsy shop in the first instance). Also pop to Miss Gish's website for some updates on her writing progress.   6/24/2025 Intermission! We're taking some time out to raise funds for Arcane Publishing.
We'll be back in August!  On Saturday 7th June, Arcane and @mattartpix had a stall at the Brighton @vintagefurnitureflea organised by @judysvintage - this was their first event in the city, and considering the length of the queue on opening and the brilliant atmosphere, I think we can safely say it was a big success!
On the left is our stall, with most of Matt's small mid-century furniture items already on their way to their new homes! We had the feeling that this was going to be a good one anyway, and Brighton didn't disappoint! The venue was absolutely stunning: St Bartholomew's in the heart of Brighton. This is a really impressive and original building designed by Brighton-based architect Edmund Scott, and it is crammed with beautiful details which unfortunately, we didn't really have time to take in, as we were so busy the whole day! We had the perfect customer base for us: people who know what they want, are knowledgeable and into beautiful objects, books, furniture and art. It was great to see so many people interested in the prints of Matt's vintage-inspired collage art! We cannot wait for the next Vintage Furniture and Flea in Brighton - but we will be back much earlier than this as we wish to explore the area properly. We think it might just be the perfect area to move our ArtPix/Arcane HQ in the future... We have been very busy since coming back from France and we are in full planning mode. Still on the list of "important things to do" are the launch of an online bookshop this autumn and the publication of Miss Gish's third novel The Right Place, by Spring 2026. Watch this space! In the meantime, do follow us on Instagram where we regularly post updates and new stock in! Go HERE.  We are really excited to announce that the Arcane/ArtPix team is headed to Brighton this weekend for The Brighton Vintage Furniture and Flea organised by @vintagefurnitureflea this Saturday 7th June in Brighton!
Matt will have his usual colourful stock of carefully hand-picked vintage treasures and we will bring a small selection of vintage 50s, 60s and 70s ephemera and books, including great mid-century sci-fi books and volumes on art and design! The Brighton area is on our list of *potential* areas to move the Arcane/ArtPix HQ to in the next few years... So it'll be great to have a first look at it! The Brighton Vintage Furniture & Flea - Saturday 7th June 2025 (10:30am - 3:30pm) - Church of St. Bartholomew Doggies welcome! ;-)  A quick update to say that the Arcane/ArtPix team is back from three fantastic weeks in France, including two in gorgeous Normandy, which we like more and more! And we have found the ideal bolthole! It was so wonderful that we didn't want to leave!
We came back last weekend and we have barely had time to breathe, it's gone a bit mad already here at Arcane/ArtPix towers! There is a lot going on and this will be a very busy summer for us... More news soon! Please bear with us, and don't forget to check out the Arcane instagram HERE and the ArtPix instagram HERE! That's where we are the most active at the moment and you will find updated news, new stock, events, etc.  A few days ago, we left copies of Miss Gish's two novels I Am a Muse and The Book of Thoth for people to find on the bookshelves at the bus stop in Queen Camel, Somerset. I will be doing this again throughout the spring/summer in Dorset, Somerset and beyond if possible!    2/20/2025 February update: Plans afoot! It is a wet and gloomy day today in Dorset and the ArtPix/Arcane HQ is a hive of activity as we beaver away at our various projects.
The Arcane office is filled with incense and The Mighty Sieben's fabulous music - a lot of plotting is taking place! Work has resumed on the first draft of Miss Gish's third novel The Right Place and we hope to publish in Spring 2026. and a decision has finally been taken regarding launching an online Arcane Bookshop. This, we hope, will happen in June/July 2025. Watch this space and follow our updates on Instagram HERE! |
