ARC Author Programme

A truly magnificent book is one that changes hearts, minds and how we interact with the world: that fundamentality alters the reality of those who read it. From first page to last word, once they take that narrative journey, they are indelibly remade into somebody new. 

 

 

The author is, therefore, not merely a wordmonger or writer of eloquent prose, but a worldbuilder, shapeshifter, architect of human experience and enricher of life itself. So, you want to write a book?

Or do you hunger to author new possibilities, realities and lifetimes for your audience?
