I am offering for sale my personal archives, as well as the archives of New Orphic Publishers and The New Orphic Review, for a sum of $86,000.00 CAD, plus the cost of shipping.  My archives consist of:

 

 1) drafts of stories and novels on 8.5” by 11” sheets;

 2) notes for the same;

 3) mock-ups and make-readies hailing from the time when I used to photocopy and bind my own books;

 4) mock-ups of covers, which includes a certain amount of original artwork;

 5) drafts of The New Orphic Review;

 6) mock-ups and make-readies of The New Orphic Review;

 7) mock-ups of New Orphic Review covers, which includes a certain amount of original artwork;

 8) correspondence;

 9) route sheets;

10) galley proofs and a bound galley proof of Chasing After Carnival, hailing from 1985, when Stoddart      Publishing failed to publish that particular novel; and

11) various editions of my books; and

12) limited digital material.

 

My archives weigh at least four hundred pounds. In addition to my existing archival material, you can bid on future archival material. The original artwork on the cover mock-ups is worthy of being displayed in a museum. Future archival material will include digital masters and proofs of forthcoming books and issues of The New Orphic Review.
