Help Needed from Daily Fugue Readers!

Dear Readers, 

Can you help? With your support I can make my dream of publication, my own books and books by other authors and artists, a reality. But only with your support can I do this!  Sometimes there are things that we cannot do alone, and I have reached that point. I am deeply and eternally grateful to those who have backed my project so far, but only 10 per cent of the target has been reached!! and there are only 12 days left! Please please help me by donating anything you can to this project- which starts at only $1- every dollar counts- in supporting new literary publishing in Australia, we do not want to be left out of what is happening in many other places in the US and UK and Europe, and India. That is why I am doing this- to create a precedent and work out all the hard stuff to make it easier for others to follow. I am explaining what I am doing on my blog, and here and will write more about this and make it freely available. Please help me to support literature and Art in Australia. 

In respect and gratitude,

Ruth

FuguEditions is the name of my publishing imprint, and I will post the link to the new website in the coming days. 

My first publication will be The Writer's Fugue, and I will then be publishing the books in my series Australian Fugue, five interlinked novels that explore aspects of identity, growing up, impacts of trauma  in living in conflict areas (Northern Ireland), friendships, making a career as a young writer, family secrets, and more from the perspective of a woman growing up in the contemporary world, in England, Ireland and Australia. 

I will also be publishing full length books on the most popular topics in this blog, The Daily Fugue which I have kept for over two years now. By far the most popular post has been my story on Sex, Art and the Inner World: Women Artists Reclaiming their Creative Birthright. Featuring Australian, British and international contemporary women artists whom I have interviewed and written about, here in this blog, and in some cases in articles published in arts periodicals and peer reviewed journal. These include Tracey Emin, Diane Mantzaris, Fiona Foley, Del Kathryn Barton, and more.

So going by the popularity of this article there is a worldwide interest in this timely topic. I am working on this publication now. Progress details will be posted including updates on the artists works and exhibitions. 

More information on FuguEditions soon.

All the best,

Ruth
