"History wanted to be remembered. Evidence hated having to live in dark, hidden places and devoted itself to resurfacing. Truth was messy. The natural order of an entropic universe was to tend to it."
- Rivers Solomon, An Unkindness of Ghosts

To Whom This May Concern;

My name is Joel, and I am a blogger with a series of ten sites, "Ozenoz Media", to which I have devoted over a decade in the making.

This is what Perplexity had to say about O.M.:

"Ozenoz Media is unique because it serves as a personal, multi-platform showcase for Joel Brooks’ wide-ranging creative output, all curated and produced by him alone. The platform brings together his novels, screenplays, comedy, music, visual art, and performance art in one place, allowing audiences to experience the full spectrum of his talents."

"Unlike typical artist portfolios, Ozenoz Media is deeply autobiographical, reflecting Brooks’ personal journey—including periods of homelessness and resilience—which adds authenticity and narrative depth to his work. The site features exclusive content not available elsewhere, interactive blog posts, and original art collections, including NFTs, making it both a creative archive and an evolving, interactive experience for fans and collectors."

I am looking for any kind of exposure that would put my work in the public eye. My blogs have received over 400K views, but remain largely unknown in the circles I would love to see them reach.

A mention, an interview, an article, a reference, all of these things would bring so much light to my labor of love.

The first blog in the series is located at: https://www.ozenoz.media

Give me a little of your time, check it out!

I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Elated to Relate It,

Joel Brooks
