Call For Anonymous Reviews
HTMLGiant is currently seeking anonymous reviews: 300-500 word reviews featuring a rating from 0.0-10.0, which can be sent to brooks [at] htmlgiant [dot] com. The new review section (containing longer formal reviews as well as shorter anonymous ones) can be perused here. Anonymous pieces published to date include reviews of Percival Everett, James Franco, Elizabeth J. Colen, John Jodzio, Tim Jones-Yelvington, Sean Lovelace, and Mary Miller. We consider reviews of forthcoming, new, or old books from small or large presses. Writing a review anonymously can induce euphoria, eliminate stage fright, indulge your adventurous nature, allow for uncensored expression, protect against the burning of bridges in the literary community, enable a new approach to creating a text, etc. HTMLGiant will not divulge its sources.
Copywrite on Writing
“A camera can’t capture the essence.”
“It’s like, when I hear a bassline, I think of blue. When I hear pieces of a nice beat, I think of green, like emeralds and shit. To me, music is like how I look at drawing: it’s just shapes, you’ve just got to put it in the right spots. A picture of Mickey Mouse is just a bunch of circles; you’ve just got to know where to stop the connections at. To me, music and words are just all shapes.”
“I don’t want to be mainstream–I want to piss in it.”
