Now accepting submissions for our next issue on the theme Refuge.

We leave behind our problems, our jobs, our families, our relationships, our homes, and even our countries, in search of promise, comfort, and respite. For the 2025 Spring-Summer issue of Multiplicity, we want to know the how, the where, the who, and the why of seeking sanctuary. In prose, poetry, or photography, show us a path—well-trodden or not yet blazed, real or imagined, achieved or only hoped for—to a place (or state) of refuge.  

 We accept essays, profiles, and narrative nonfiction up to 3,000 words, poetry (up to three poems per submitter), and original photography (up to five photographs) inspired or connected to our theme. For accepted work, we pay $45 for prose, $15 per poem, and $15 per photograph.

Anticipated publication: June 2025
Submission Dates: November 26, 2024–January 31, 2025

Issue 5: Out of Control

In this issue, we explore control: how badly we want it, what we’ll do to get it, and how often we find ourselves in situations where we have very little of it. From lives-in-progress, we experience moments when attempts at control fail miserably, moments when we are forced to tighten—or lighten—our grip, moments when we find comfort in the chaos, or transformation in the unexpected. Eleven essayists, four poets, and two photographers traverse the jagged, asymmetrical, occasionally hilarious line between in and out-of-control.
