Join us in helping Exposition Review grow!
Exposition Review is a multi-genre literary journal dedicated to literary work and art across forms. Through the years, we have been proud to publish voices that display the tenacity, diversity, and artistic community of Los Angeles and beyond.
At Expo, we don’t see publication as the final part of the process. Our mission is to create opportunities for writers and artists to share their voices and to support the literary communities that have given us a home.
Since we’ve launched as Exposition Review in 2015, we have…
- Published more than 150 pieces through our annual issues and Flash 405 contests.
- Paid more than $2500 to our Flash 405 contest winners.
- Taught free workshops with high school students and published their work.
- Hosted quarterly events, including readings, workshops, and more!
“I appreciate what you do, how you bring readers and writers together in the exchange. As a former publisher myself, as a well as a creative writing instructor for many years, I have a deep respect for all the work that everyone at Exposition Review has poured into this fine literary journal.” — Guy Biederman, Flash 405 contributor
“For a long time, I had wanted to share my writing with the world. I simply never knew how I could do it. When I decided to attend Exposition Review’s WriteGirl workshop for the first time, I hoped there would be some way for me to pursue my dream. And there was. The atmosphere in the workshop felt entirely safe and inspiring, and I learned so many things ranging from writing cover letters to understanding that rejection is part of the publishing process. I was exposed to multiple literary magazines where I could submit my writing, and that was life-changing for me. It made me realize that I could explore as many different writing genres as I wanted, and that there would be at least one place where my writing would fit.” — Drew Shinozaki, WriteGirl mentee and Vol III. “Orbit” contributor
