Publishing Rights Requested by Multiplicity  

When we accept prose or poetry for publication, we request First Serial Worldwide Rights (i.e., first-time publication rights). We also ask for the right to archive the work indefinitely on our website. After your work has been published in our literary magazine, the rights revert back to you.

If your work is later reprinted elsewhere, we request that Multiplicity be credited as the original publisher.

Multiplicity retains no rights on submitted photographs or other multimedia. By submitting your photographs or other multimedia work to Multiplicity, you agree to allow us to display your work on our website and on our social media sites. You also grant us permission to include your work, with appropriate credit to you, in print collections and anthologies and/or digital or print promotional material.

When we accept work that has previously been published, we request non-exclusive reprint rights, and we agree to credit the original publisher.

We reserve the right to include your work on our website, in printed form, and in collections and anthologies. We also reserve the right to reference your work (for example, using its title, a short excerpt, or your name as the writer) in digital and print promotional materials for Multiplicity. If your work is used in any of these locations or materials, you will always be credited.

We reserve the right to edit accepted work and modify its phrasing, punctuation, usage, spelling, or formatting to meet the stylistic conventions and/or technical requirements of publication in Multiplicity.

Contributors will have the opportunity to review and give final approval of their work before publication.

Affirmation of Original, Human-Created Content 

You, as the writer, artist, or photographer, must affirm that the work you submit is human-created and wholly original. You will also confirm that it does not violate or infringe on the copyright or privacy of any individual, corporation, or organization whatsoever, and acknowledge that you are the sole creator of the work to be published.

Payment

For accepted work, we pay $45 for essays, profiles, and narrative nonfiction, $15 per poem and $15 per photograph.
