About Us

Invisible City is the University of San Francisco MFA in Creative Writing program’s online literary journal. We publish fiction, poetry, and nonfiction in the fall and spring, and we hold the occasional contest too. As of Issue 5, we pay a $20 honorarium to each of our contributors.

Invisible City seeks to publish work that makes the unseen seen, that examines previously unconsidered perspectives and angles. We like writing that is specific, whether it revels in weirdness or adheres to tradition. To any and all emerging writers and writers from underrepresented communities— we encourage you to submit!
