Multiplicity — Submissions
Overview
Multiplicity is a literary magazine that positions itself as a space for voices that resist singular narratives. While the organization behind it remains unnamed in the public call, the title itself signals a curatorial commitment to plurality—of form, perspective, and experience. The magazine publishes fiction, poetry, and nonfiction, suggesting an editorial vision that values both imaginative and documentary modes of writing. In a literary landscape increasingly dominated by a handful of gatekeepers, Multiplicity appears to operate with the autonomy of a small press or independent review, where editorial decisions are likely made by a dedicated team rather than a corporate board. For the writer, the opportunity is straightforward: the chance to place work in a magazine that takes its name from a principle of inclusion. There is no indicated prize, fee, or location, which places the emphasis squarely on publication itself—an increasingly rare proposition in a field where contests and reading fees often overshadow the simple act of putting new writing into the world. The absence of a fee, if confirmed, would align Multiplicity with a tradition of accessible literary publishing that prioritizes the work over the transaction. The curatorial vision, inferred from the title and genres, seems to favor writing that engages with multiplicity in content or form: narratives that complicate identity, poems that hold contradiction, essays that refuse easy conclusions. Writers should consider how their submission might contribute to a conversation about what it means to be many things at once—culturally, formally, politically. The deadline of December 1, 2026, offers ample time for revision and thoughtful assembly of a submission.
