About us:

Notes from a Barstool sprung into life in 2005 as a prototype for a short story publication; a creative collaboration involving young designers and writers based in the UK. The prototype was intended as a showcase of local talent with the intention to bring short stories to the public attention by making the publication available initially locally in pubs, bars, coffee shops and book stores. The concept proved popular, but more pressing business interests took priority and the idea was put on hold.

In 2010, Jon Beck, the creative force behind the original project, re-branded the original concept and re-launched Notes from a Barstool as a independent, online publisher with the goal of launching undiscovered and dynamic talent into the marketplace.
