Seoul, South Korea | January 18, 2009: ExPatLit.com, a new online literary review for writers and travelers, has recently expanded its editorial board to meet the needs of its contributors.

“In a market in which many writers receive generic form letters in response to their submissions, we are committed to giving each contributor a thoughtful and detailed response,” says Heidi Charlton, Editor for ExPatLit.com. “We want our writers to understand our decisions; we want to work with them to improve their craft.

The publishing team at ExPatLit.com selected Michael Shirzadian, a student at Cedarville University in Ohio, and Zachary Sanderson, a student at Bradley University in Illinois, to serve as assistant editors. Mike and Zach will help with editorial decisions and copy editing.

The journal also selected Steve Fladda, a seasoned writer and traveler, to serve as an editor-at-large. A native of Cleveland, Ohio, Steve presently resides in Germany, where he is involved in humanitarian work.

In addition, the journal promoted Camille Morse, a California ad copy/SEO specialist, to serve as marketing communications advisor. Camille will assist with advertising campaigns and general promotional efforts, along with editorial work.

“In the two months since we launched our Web site, we’ve received some great feedback and some really excellent submissions,” says Joe Dugan, Managing Editor for ExPatLit.com. “This staff expansion will empower us to give each writer the personal attention he or she deserves.”

The journal is currently accepting submissions for the spring issue, scheduled for online release on March 30, 2009. The journal is also hosting a contest with cash prizes for top submissions. Visit www.ExPatLit.com for additional information.
