Young Expat, to go in the spirit of the founder of Young American Expat Richie Santosdiaz when he first started his own media commentary journey when he first struggled, is opening the platform to all expats of different nationalities and writing abilities to either share original content or to repost relevant articles they published elsewhere. He wants to give young expats a view and the opportunity themselves to share their own stories.

OUR GUIDELINES - how to submit an article, opinion piece OR VIDEO
For us to publish anything please send complete drafts (no pitches) - 400 -1,400 maximum to opinion@youngamericanexpat.com on the body of the email. In the heading of the email please write "article submission."
Please make sure you have edited your piece as we will not do that. You are free to write anything that is about expat life, something unique you are experiencing abroad, or general travel, especially all geared towards the younger expat audience.
Please give a few line bio of yourself and also a headline. In the bio do link any websites or social media handles you would like.
We will ignore any sales-type articles, anything a company is asking us to repost, as well as anything political and what others might find offensive.
Articles published on our platform are unpaid
At present we are only taking written pieces and will explore video and other submissions at a later date.
We are only taking submissions in English at this time.
You are free to repost any originals you share to us - we ask you link the original though from Young Expat (or Young American Expat)
You are free to submit video entry shoutout alongside your article - you can host and we'll add as an entry or we can host (would be on our Young American Expat YouTube Channel) and via on a post here - as of 5 May 2018
VIDEO - We are exploring the option to host it so any shoutout 1-2 minutes about your expat life will be accepted. You can do it on your phone and you can send the file via email (we cannot edit at this time)
We reserve the right to refuse any entries - but if you follow all of above we are pretty easy to work with!
Give us two working weeks to respond and post your content - if we do not respond within that consider it unsuccessful for that instant - many thanks!
