Southend Area Local Authors'Day

So last Saturday was the Southend Area Local Authors'Day. 
It was an official event on the Essex Book Festival programme and took place at Southend's new state-of-the-art library, The Forum. 
The day was organised by prolific author and artist Ann Duggans Robson, who had worked tirelessly to make this happen! 
Arcane Publishing took part in the event together with ten other independent publishers and authors. People came to have a browse and chat with the authors (we even got the visit of a local MP!) and we shared tips with our colleagues (how comes there are so many teachers and ex-teachers doing this?) 
It is always very encouraging to see how dynamic and creative people are and we really do think their hard-work needs to be recognised more widely. We hope that this event is only the beginning... 

Below are a few of the pictures we took at the event early in the day before people started coming in. We are really happy with the sheet music stand and our Right Place poster designed by Matt ArtPix! Matt also made a few flyers (various sizes and different versions), and we love them. We'll be carrying them around on our visits to Dorset! You can also catch a glimpse of I Am a Muse and The Book of Thoth on the stands... 

Arcane Publishing has quite a few very exciting events coming up in the forthcoming months. We are still working on these so don't forget to visit our Events Page for updates!
