Transition Magazine: Rolling submissions
Born in Africa and bred in the diaspora, Transition is a unique forum for the freshest, most compelling, most curious ideas about race. Since its founding in Uganda in 1961, the magazine has kept apace of the rapid transformation of the black world and has remained a leading
forum of intellectual debate.
We accept submissions year-round on a rolling basis. We generally respond to all submissions within four months. Due to volume, we are unable to provide updates on the status of submissions unless more than four months have passed.
Transition publishes writing by and about Africa and the African diaspora, with an eye towards a global perspective.
General Submission Guidelines
- Transition does accept simultaneous submissions. Please notify us immediately if you need to withdraw a piece because it has been accepted elsewhere.
- Transition does not accept multiple submissions within a four-month period. Within a season, an author may submit one packet of 5-7 poems, 1 short story, 1 essay, or 1 interview. Multiple submissions will result in all submissions being rejected.
