About

42 members set this magazine as a Favorite.

The Plentitudes is an international literary journal showcasing captivating fiction, nonfiction, and poetry from diverse voices.

We believe in the power of writing—in its plentitudes of forms, styles, and modes of exploration—to move the spirit, shift the gaze, and offer new perspectives. Founded in New York City in 2020, we are truly global: our editors, reading board members, and contributors (and their stories) represent an international and multicultural blend.

Our editorial team carefully curates each issue to bring our philosophy to the page and to our avid readers. We are most excited by works that approach the human condition from a mix of critical and creative approaches and we support exigent narratives and counternarratives. We aim to amplify emerging voices and add to the growing diversity and vibrancy of the literary community.

Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for all submissions. The fee is USD $5.

  • Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
  • Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
  • Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
  • Be professional, patient, and persistent.
