Arcbeatle Press is an independent publishing company founded and run by James Wylder. Based in the United States, they are best known for their various Doctor Who independent spin-offs, and their revival of the WARS Trading Card Game.

History

Arcbeatle Press began as a venture from writer James Wylder, who had previously had plays produced by Hanover College. Their first official release would be Cascade, a previously self-published book by Wylder.

The company and by extension Wylder would receive their most notable media attention with the unofficial poetry book An Eloquence of Space and Time. Following this, the company began running their first long running series, 10,000 Dawns, which would receive contributions from authors such as Simon Butcher-Jones.

Arcbeatle would return to the Doctor Who universe in an official capacity with their ongoing series Cwej: The Series, a spin-off focused on the character of the same name. They would also enter a brief partnership with BBV Productions and continue the P.R.O.B.E. line, although it wouldn't last and the companies would soon split. Afterwards the company would publish a novel based on The Minister of Chance.

In 2021, Arcbeatle began a revival of the WARS fiction series, based on the trading card game of the same name. This was inspired by Wylder, who was a notable fan of the series. They would publish multiple short stories before going on to create a slice of life spin-off series, Academy 27.
