About the Magazine

Founded in 2020 | United States

Invisible City seeks work that makes the unseen seen, examining the world through previously unconsidered perspectives and angles. We like work that is specific, whether that means reveling in weirdness or adhering to tradition. Emerging writers and writers from underrepresented communities are encouraged to submit.
