EnglishWho makes The HTML Review and how can I learn more about it?
Updated
The HTML Review is an annual journal of literature made to exist on the web. Its current issue is issue 05, spring 2026. Individual pieces are credited to named authors and artists, and the site includes an About page for learning more. The page does not confirm submission guidelines or pricing, so those details should be checked on the site itself rather than assumed.
What The HTML Review is
The journal describes itself as "an annual journal of literature made to exist on the web." That phrasing matters: the works are not simply texts posted online, but pieces built for the browser as their medium.
The site lists issue 05, spring 2026, and includes an Archive and an About page alongside the issue contents.
Who makes it
The works in issue 05 are credited to individual authors and artists, often in collaboration. Examples from the issue listing:

The range of credited forms — poem, CSS botany, webtoon, multiplayer music system, folktale, conversation, essay, love letter, banner ad archeology — shows the journal treats the browser as a literary surface rather than a container for plain text.
How to learn more
- Start with the About page for the journal's own statement of purpose.
- Use the Archive to see how issues are organized over time.
- Read individual pieces from issue 05 to understand what "literature made to exist on the web" means in practice — several pieces involve audio, interaction, or visual systems rather than static reading.
What is not confirmed
The page does not state submission guidelines, editorial contact details, or any pricing or access restrictions. If you want to know whether the journal accepts submissions or how to reach the editors, check the About page directly rather than inferring from the issue listing.
