Submitting to Multiplicity Literary Magazine

Submissions for the Spring Issue of Multiplicity Literary Magazine will open mid-November, 2021. The theme for our Spring Issue will be “At Any Age.”

When we open for magazine submissions, we will also be opening up for a new Quick Work series with the same theme. Quick Work submissions are flash essays or poems, 100 words or fewer. 

Multiplicity Literary Magazine publishes one issue annually, typically in in May. We consider submissions of short-form creative nonfiction (500-1,500 words), long-form creative nonfiction (1,500-5,000 words), poetry, flash nonfiction (up to 500 words) from established and emerging writers. We also accept original photography that relates to our issue theme.  We read submissions for each issue on the schedule given below.

Please see our About Multiplicity Magazine page for more details about the type of work we seek to publish, and read our Usage Rights page for information about the rights we request upon publication.

We will not knowingly publish submissions that are slanderous, libelous, racist, sexist, ageist, or otherwise intentionally discriminatory or offensive. All works must be original and must not be subject to copyright restrictions. For each issue, the journal publishes one submission per selected author/artist.

Each accepted submission is edited according to the spelling, grammar, and punctuation conventions of American English; we follow the conventions detailed in the Chicago Manual of Style.  In its editing, Multiplicity Magazine strives to preserve each submitter’s unique voice and artistic intent over absolute grammatical or idiomatic correctness.
