OUT NOW: Leading the Rebellion by Jason Kingsley OBE

Happy book birthday to Leading the Rebellion: Questing to Succeed in Work and Life by our very own Jason Kingsley OBE!

History is at the centre of Jason Kingsley’s business and lifestyle philosophy, in which he explores Rebellion’s history, and his own, through the lens of the Knightly Code of Chivalry.

A fascinating look into the business and lifestyle philosophy of Jason Kingsley OBE, CEO of Rebellion.

Rebellion is one of the world’s most successful independent games developers and also a film and TV production company and publisher. Combining his love of Medieval History and success in business, this unique book will give insight into a modern interpretation of the Knightly Code of Chivalry, the moral system which combined a warrior ethos, knightly piety, and courtly manners, all combining to establish a notion of honour and nobility, in a motivational and aspirational take on how to live life to the fullest.

The Rebellion Advent Calendar: Day Four

December 4th, and Claus the Magnificent graces the mince pie mines with his presence – a state visit is required to improve productivity at this crucial time of year. 

“Dig,” he booms, his voice echoing down the cinnamon-scented shafts. “Dig, for Christmas is but twenty one days away, and there are pies to be filled. Ho, ho, ho.”

Yes, that’s right, another day in December means another window of the Rebellion Advent Calendar opens. Today, we’ve got a prize up for grabs that is worthy of Claus himself: two copies of The Iron Ship, KM McKinley’s truly epic new fantasy novel. 

To enter this competition, simply head over to our Twitter page and give us a little retweet, or go and like the competition post on Facebook. Good luck, and may Claus the Magnificent look upon you kindly.

The great Rebellion social media overhaul

If you follow Solaris, Abaddon or Ravenstone on social media might have noticed some changes of late. But why, we hear you cry?

Well, it’s all to make your life easier. Up to now, if you wanted the full picture of all things Rebellion you needed to be a fan of separate Facebook and Twitter accounts for all three of our imprints, Solaris, Abaddon and Ravenstone. All in, that’s six – count ‘em – different social media accounts.

That’s a lot of social media-ing, folks.

So, we’ve decided to streamline. It’ll mean that you can get your daily dose of Rebellion goodness by simply following one Twitter account and liking one Facebook page.

You might have seen that this process has already begun on Facebook, where we recently merged our three separate pages for Solaris, Abaddon and Ravenstone into one, glorious Rebellion Publishing page.

We’ll be doing something similar on Twitter as well. We’re going to stop tweeting from our @abaddonbooks and @ravenstonepress profiles, while keeping our @solarisbooks profile, which we will be renaming @rebellionpub. This change will be going live at midday on Wednesday, 23 September, so remember that when you want to @ us or send us a message!

NOTE: If you follow @solarisbooks, you don’t need to do anything! If you don’t, then follow @solarisbooks! There’s no need to follow any other accounts, as @solarisbooks will automatically swap over to its new name on 23 September.

After this change comes into effect, you’ll be able to find all your Rebellion updates at Facebook.com/rebellionpublishing and twitter.com/rebellionpub.

Don’t worry, this doesn’t mean we’re shutting any of our imprints. On the contrary, Solaris, Abaddon and Ravenstone will continue to publish the very finest genre fiction, each with their own inimitable slant, until the heat death of the universe (and even then we’ll probably keep going). We’re simply making it easier for you to keep up to date with all our books, all the time.

So head over to Facebook and like our newly revamped page, and make sure you follow us @solarisbooks on Twitter before we close our Abaddon and Ravenstone accounts.

Onward!

Rebellion Publishing backs the EU VATMOSS Campaign

Are you a freelance creative type? Self publishing author? Small business looking to sell digital products? We know there are a lot of you out there, and this is important.

EU Legislation might not be exciting, but it can fundamentally affect your ability to sell your creative endeavours. In January 2015, the new EU Digital VAT laws came into effect. What does this mean? And why should you care?

Well, in a nutshell, any business selling digital products online must now charge VAT based on where the customer is located, as opposed to where the business lives. Now, this might be OK for huge multinational corporations – which, incidentally, the laws were designed for.

But for smaller businesses – including all the independent games developers, comic book creators, small presses, independent musicians, artists and innovators that you love – this is kind of a big deal.

It means they have to collect a vast amount of >Campaign Team’s Just Giving page, and we urge you to follow the campaign and support the team as they work towards a solution that will be to the benefit of us all.
