Metachrosis Literary

Submit 20th December 2024 – 3rd March 2025

Metachrosis literary magazine is an online publication that strives to be the place where the foundations of the world around us are explored and celebrated. Created as part of the Art, Science, and Visual Thinking MFA at Dundee University, this magazine is open to all forms of writing, art, and Hybrid work, whether creative or factual. We are an emerging literary magazine looking for any work celebrating the intersection between the arts, sciences, and humanities.

We accept all forms of writing and art. If you’re not sure that what you have is a good fit, you can check out all of our digital issues, which are free to read. You can also send us a brief synopsis of the work, and we’ll confirm that it’s of interest.
We love the passionate, the critical, and the humorous, and more than anything else we’d love to see your work.

If you want to get a feel for what we publish, you can read all of our previous issues for free on our website: https://metachrosislitmag.com
