Want to get involved with Exposition Review?
We are always looking for ways to engage and grow our literary community. If you’re interested in working with our team, supporting Expo, or learning more about publishing and the inner workings of an independent literary journal, check out our opportunities below:
Become a Reader
Each year Exposition Review receives a high volume of submissions for our annual issue. Our team of awesome volunteer readers is essential in helping the Expo editors curate new, emerging, and established voices and shape the final issue. We regularly seek self-motivated, avid readers to join that team.
Through this experience, you will get to know the ins and outs of publishing a literary journal, read and provide feedback on submissions, and work alongside a community of dedicated writers and editors who are passionate about publishing works in all genres. Previous experience in writing, editing, or literary criticism is a plus, but not required.
As a reader, you can attend our weekly reading meetings on Zoom or work remotely. The typical time commitment is two to four hours per week. Readers will be featured in the issue masthead and have the opportunity to qualify as an associate editor.
To apply, please fill out the application below by August 31:
Please note that readers for the annual issue cannot submit any work to Exposition Review for that year, including our Flash 405 competitions. If you have any questions, please email us at expositionreview@gmail.com.

Donate!
Exposition Review is an independent journal, which means we do not receive funding from any college or other institution. We are run entirely by volunteer writers, editors, and artists who are passionate about publishing new works and promoting other creatives. Our submission fees cover the majority of our overhead, but as we grow and look for new ways to provide value both to our contributors and our community, we also look to donations.
Donations allow us to host more readings and promote our contributors at events such as AWP and LitCrawl L.A. They allow us to hold workshops for emerging writers for amazing organizations such as WriteGirl and DREAMing Out Loud. They allow us to grow our readership and pay all of our contributors.
Any contribution you can provide, no matter how small, is appreciated. Click below to donate:
