About Grace Notes Publishing & Notes Magazine: It has been said that "the hallmark of contemporary literature is an avoidance of plot and character." -And we wonder why people don’t read so much anymore!? We wonder why the only people enjoying short stories and poetry are those who are writing them!? Grace Notes Publishing presents Notes Magazine and takes a big step (a leap, really) away from that line of thinking. GN Publishing seeks to celebrate authors who write about life (in any and all facets) and do so with a strong sense of writing about ’something’ without taking a step over the line into what some would call "genre stories". Welcome to the slipstream; a company publishing books and this magazine offering a broad appeal to both ’literary’ minds and avid ’mainstream’ readers alike. Notes Magazine is made up of accessible, lively, often fun, and meaningful-- IDEAS.
