 After notifying Bedford about the plan, Bedford advised Southey to contact William Nicol, a London publisher, to publish the work and raise more money.Southey did find a publisher, Joseph Cottle, to print his poem.A notification for the publication of "Joan of Arc" was included in a publication of Southey's poems later in 1794, but the edition was stopped from being printed since it lacked the minimum of 50 subscribers to pay for the cost.
