About Invisible City Literary Journal

Currently, we accept poetry, creative nonfiction, fiction, and visual art.
March 16 through April 16 for general Issue 5 submissions in fiction, poetry, nonfiction, and visual art.
To submit, you'll have to create an account on their website. However, if you already have an account, you do not need to use this form.

Invisible City Literary Journal General Guidelines
Make sure to select the correct genre for your submission from the dropdown.
Fill in the title(s) of the work(s) you are submitting.
If you are submitting multiple works, separate titles with commas.
Use the browse button to find the file on your computer that you would like to submit.
Select the file and click on the open button. Your file will then appear in the “file” field.
If you wish you can fill in the comments field with any additional information you’d like to send, then click submit.
You will then have the option to review your information and confirm that it is correct. Hit continue and you’re done.
We only consider previously unpublished works. No exceptions. Thank you.
We do not accept submissions via email or postal service. You can submit your work to us through our submission manager. If you run into any technical difficulties in uploading your submission, please contact us at invisiblecity@usfca.edu.
We do accept simultaneous submissions. However, we ask that you notify us as soon as possible if your work is accepted elsewhere.
Work may only be submitted once per submission cycle (no multiple submissions). Do not withdraw and resubmit; unless we've requested it, subsequent submissions will be rejected.
Send us the thing that is polished and ready. (Also, we don't care if you left out a comma. These are things that can be fixed.)
The only exception is contests, when writers may also submit a contest entry.
If you are submitting to a contest, make sure to first read the rules here. Failure to follow contest rules means submissions may be automatically rejected.
If you’re submitting poetry, please submit to us no more than three poems. The best things come in threes: Olympic medals, wishes, Cerberus heads.
We read prose pieces up to 5,000 words. Flash is always welcome; for issue (not contest) submissions you may submit up to three flash pieces in a single document.
At this time we do not accept novel excerpts, unless they function as standalone stories.
We ask that if your work is accepted to please wait three reading cycles before submitting again. For example, if your work is accepted in the Spring 2020 cycle, you will be eligible for Spring 2022 submissions. This waiting period allows us to best honor our mission of giving space to new voices.
We do not accept work (other than visual art) from current students at the University of San Francisco. Alumni may submit work.
