The Mixtape Review We list other projects with similar titles. Please check that you report any submissions under the correct listing. About Our mission is to celebrate the role music plays in our writing: it inspires us, keeps us going, and fills the all-too-often silent room with more than sounds of our frantic typing. As writers ourselves, we have often wished that our readers can hear the music we describe in our writing. This was the initial idea for the Mixtape Review— an experimental magazine where published work is presented with a song chosen by the contributor.Join us in honoring the creative drive music gives us; contribute to our mixtape with your work + a piece of music.
