What are we looking for?
The ASAP Corner is our new home for reviews. Earlier a part of the Weekly Features, we have now freed reviews from the queue, for they are best served hot.
We welcome previously unpublished reviews of books, films, TV/web series, theatre, music albums, video games, etc.
We prefer reviews with a literary bent and not Instagram-style promotional reviews (although we hold nothing against them).
Submissions are rolling and we will try to publish all accepted reviews as soon as we humanly can.
Submission Checklist
Your review (file name: Your Name_Review) of up to 1000 words (12-pt, single-spaced, any readable serif font, and references instead of footnotes, if any) in doc/docx format

No need to introduce/summarise your work unless you want to share relevant info
We don’t require CW/TW but you’re welcome to include them.
No contributor bios, please. We will solicit bios and contributor photos upon acceptance.
Please mention if it is a simultaneous or exclusive submission.
