The Short Story Lives
Reports of the death of the short story have been greatly exaggerated. Writers Notes Magazine arrives just in time to pull the art form from the jaws of disinterest.
(PRWEB) March 26, 2004 -- Tired of the narrowly focused, supremely closed literary market? Think the short story and non-political essay is dead? Award-winning and highly praised author Christopher Klim (Everything Burns, Jesus Lives in Trenton) launches Writers Notes Magazine, the printed extension of the free international resource tool at www.WritersNotes.com.
Writers Notes Magazine offers stories, essays, interviews, poetry, and the winners of the annual Writers Notes Books Awards-defining 11 categories of independent publishing excellence, great books you may see nowhere else.
I was tired of literary art star insiders and the MFA prose experts with no application of storytelling," Klim says. Theres a reason why readers bail out of most literary magazines, and isnt because cable T.V. or the wash cycle is calling. Its often because a story is boring or pretentious. A good story, even if the writing is dense, holds you in place. Youll skip a shower to finish it."
Klim is the senior editor of Writers Notes Magazine. His latest novel, Everything Burns, is a stunning portrayal of a serial arsonist set loose in Texas, which is based on years of research into the rare compulsive disorder of pyromania.
Writers Notes Magazine is another grassroots effort from Hopewell Publications to bring salient stories to the shelves. They are currently in negotiations with American cult classic author Robert Gover to reprint the groundbreaking social satire, One Hundred Dollar Misunderstanding, restoring it to the original form that helped establish Grove/Atlantic as a prominent publisher in the late 70s.
