This call is for hybrid submissions from Canadian writers. This includes Canadian citizens living in Canada or abroad; those who identify as Indigenous; and/or residents of Canada (temporary residents or refugees).

Plenitude's genre bender submission is open to hybrid works that don't fit into standard categories of poetry, fiction, or nonfiction. We're seeking new and exciting pieces that blur the lines between categories: literary blends of two or all three standard genres (poetry/fiction/nonfiction); cut-and-paste flash fiction; found poems from legal documents; erasure; conversations; collage text; you name it! Surprise us. We look forward to reading your cutting-edge submission.

Text-based submissions should be no longer than 2000 words, and can include images in the body of the text. Genre-bending poems should be no longer than 5 pages long. Standalone literary images/photographs such as collages or cut-and-paste poems can be uploaded as .jpg or .png files.

A cover letter in the document you upload is not necessary. Instead, please enter your name, mailing address, email address, titles of poems, and a 50-word bio into the Cover Letter section of the form. Let us know if you self identify as BIPOC, trans, or disabled.

Please submit work only once per calendar year per genre. Multiple submissions in the same calendar year by the same writer will be rejected.

Writers will be paid $100 CAD upon acceptance of their work.

Simultaneous submissions are allowed; however, in the event your hybrid work is accepted elsewhere, please let us know. We do not accept previously published work.
