About

Hello!

My name is A. R. Lachance, and I'm a Canadian author with so many control issues, I had to independently publish and run my own online store.

I first coined "Scribe Cat" as a name for my freelance editing services in 2016. The name evolved into "Scribe Cat Books" when I co-published a free ebook, Fantasy Unbound, in 2020. 

I've been writing in some capacity since I was a kid; but I didn't think about publishing my stories until 2010. I'd known some professors who self-published, but it was still early days, so I held off on any ideas of putting a book together.

After a decade as an editor in the literary industry, I realized traditional publication wasn't really for me. I wanted to choose my own cover artist, my own materials, and work with a local printer. Scribe Cat Books keeps production as local as possible, while also donating a portion of proceeds to regional environmental initiatives.

It's certainly been a learning experience, but I hope, over time, I'll have a great catalogue of books to offer!

Thank you for reading and have a lovely day!
