And since I'm assistant editor for Reviews, I'm telling you all that Deadline is on Sunday (Feb 7, 2010) at 12PM because I still have to check all the reviews.
Now I'm taking Bianca's advice and I won't put any strict format rules... But if you're sending a soft copy to me ( rawr.imallama@yahoo.com ) then PLEASE save it as .doc or .docx or .odt and make sure the font is readable.
And do a little background check on the book/movie/whatever you're reviewing. This means: if you're reviewing a book, please tell us who the author is, and if it's a movie tell us who the director is. Kawawa naman yung mga direktor sa mundo, walang credit XD
Plus include genre and of course, your rating (3 stars? 4 stars? what?)
NO SPOILERS! that's a rule.
^^ If it's a movie, please include the names of some actors with major roles.
- I highly suggest you avoid reviewing well known books/movies/etc and try to introduce us to something new :) This isn't for cramming, so if you're gonna write a half-assed article then it's not gonna be included.
- Don't just say 'this book/movie/etc sucks. it's so crappy. i hate it.' because that doesn't help much. If you like/hate it, then TELL US WHY. What makes it good/bad?
^^ Guidelines lang yun.
As for length, sabi ni Bianca any length :)) But don't write a novel, maawa naman kayo.
