Submissions

Invisible Publishing publishes contemporary literary fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction. All narrative works with contemporary themes will be considered. However, we are not interested in work for young readers, memoir, or self-help books.

We’re committed to publishing writers with a diversity of experiences and acknowledge historical and systemic barriers that exist in publishing, along with the limits of our existing catalogue. Given these, we strongly encourage LGBTQ2SIA+, Indigenous, and writers of colour to submit their work. We want to help get your stories out into the world.

Submissions must be made using the form below. We require the following documents in PDF format:

• A dated query letter
• The full manuscript

We will only consider one manuscript per author at a time. Multiple submissions will be deleted.

If you need to withdraw or update your submission, get in touch with us at submissions [at] invisiblepublishing [dot] com. Submissions emailed directly to this account will, you guessed it, be deleted.

Invisible Publishing is an intimately run independent publisher. Please allow sufficient time (measured in months) for us to evaluate and respond to your submission.

We’re currently assessing a backlog of submissions, so we won’t be open to reading new work until 1 August 2025. We will respond to all extant submissions by that date, after which time we’ll reopen the portal on this page.
