Want your new or upcoming release to be featured in some way? Perhaps reviewed (honestly)? Read on for details on how you can submit your art to us. Anything sent to us will not be sent back.
This is also the page where we’d post open writing calls once we starting hosting them.
NOTHING AI-GENERATED!
MUSIC
We will always prefer physical releases (who wouldn’t?) but we do accept .mp3 files, as well. Use the contact info at the bottom of this page to submit your album or single. Keep in mind submitting us your music does not necessarily mean it will be featured on our website in any way. If you want to actually have a music video or song file streamed on our website, make sure you let us know in your message that we have your permission. Also, make sure we know who you are, the song title(s) of what is submitted, the album title (if applicable), release date, and record label (if applicable). Include at least one image. This could be the cover for your music or a band promo. Either will work, both would be better!
BOOKS
As much as I hate to say we aren’t taking e-books, your work will likely never appear on the website if you provide it digitally. This is because I simply don’t enjoy reading digital books. If you have the money to send a physical book, I will do my damndest to feature it in some way, even if it’s just a press release about your book’s release. Unless it’s AI-generated; we don’t fuck with that. To submit a book, use the shipping info at the bottom of this page. Include all info you have on the book’s release, like its synopsis, any review quotes you may already have, your bio, release date, etc. Books submitted to us will not be returned!
MOVIES/TELEVISION
Sorry, this isn’t a media we are open to submissions for at this time. While it would be awesome to receive the latest blu-ray movie, it’s not something we expect any distributor to do, so I’m not going to set up guidelines for the time being.
VIDEO GAMES
If anyone were to send us a game, I imagine it would be independently developed. Which is cool. The only problem is our gear. We do not have gaming PCs. We also aren’t tech savvy enough to know if a disc can be trusted. I definitely don’t want to put something into my PlayStation that will brick it or glitch it, for example. So, for now, we aren’t really open to game submissions. If you’re a big time publisher, we will be more open to a submission for review. Use the contact information below for that.
