Friends of Arc Publications – UK

What is a Friend?

Friends of Arc Publications are people committed to Arc's mission to publish the best contemporary poetry from the UK and abroad, in English and in translation. They help share news about Arc poets and publications among their peer groups, and pay a small subscription fee. In return, they receive the following benefits:

• 4 paperback books a year, chosen from a wide selection made by the Arc team and sent directly to each Friend, pre-publication, and at no extra cost
• Further discounts off various other titles purchased via our website
• A personalised membership card
• Free entry to Arc events
• A Christmas gift
• An optional subscription to the Friends of Arc Publications Bulletin, an email newsletter giving a more intimate, realtime insight into the goings-on at Arc HQ

How does it work?

You can subscribe at a rate of £10 per quarter, or £36 if paid annually.

Every 3 months, you will receive an email with a choice of upcoming paperback titles, from which you can choose one, which will be delivered completely free to your address. The selection you are offered will be made by the Arc team, based on the retail cost of each book. Most of our titles will be included – only those that are particularly expensive won't be, but you will also be able to purchase some of these with a special discount via our website.
