One of my many life goals is to make it into HitRECord’s The Tiny Book of Tiny Stories. What is that you ask? Well, it is essentially a miniature picture book that’s comprised of short narratives written and drawn by members of Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s open collaborative production company known as HitRECord. What’s particularly awesome about the grassroots project is that it just got picked up by It Books, meaning you’ll be seeing copies of this future bestseller’s red covers in Barnes & Nobles come this December. How sick is that?
The Tiny Book of Tiny Stories will feature work from 60 artists in total, and is an amazing way to discover emerging writers and artists. If you’re upset that you couldn’t contribute to this incarnation of The Tiny Book, you’ll be happy to know that two more volumes are set to be released at future dates.
