Plenitude

Submitting your work

Plenitude accepts submissions via its online portal during designated reading periods, typically announced on its website and social media. Fiction submissions should be under 5,000 words; creative nonfiction under 4,000; poetry up to five poems. The magazine values work that demonstrates a strong sense of voice, structural intentionality, and emotional depth. Avoid genre clichés and overly familiar tropes. Simultaneous submissions are accepted, but notify immediately if the work is placed elsewhere. Include a brief cover letter with your publication history, if any—emerging writers are encouraged to submit. Response times vary from two to four months; do not query before then. Plenitude pays a modest honorarium upon publication and provides two contributor copies. For Canadian writers, there are occasional themed calls, such as the fiction submission for Canadian writers, which may have specific guidelines; always check the current call for details.
