The Unmasking is Midtown High School’s student-led literary magazine, dedicated to amplifying the creative voices of our school to the broader Atlanta community. Rooted in values of diversity, originality, and quality, we aim to showcase compelling artistic and written works from students, staff, and community members. Through intentional design, inclusive storytelling, and bold creativity, we strive to build a space that reflects the many faces of Midtown and challenges assumptions of what a literary magazine can be. Our mission is to celebrate imagination, foster connection, and unmask the stories that shape who we are. 

The Unmasking embraces diversity as a driving force behind meaningful creative expression. We are committed to representing a wide range of identities, perspectives, and experiences in every issue. From race, ethnicity, and gender to background, voice, and artistic style, we seek contributions that reflect the full spectrum of our Midtown community and beyond. By actively encouraging submissions from underrepresented voices and valuing work across all disciplines and media, we aim to build a platform where every contributor feels seen, safe, and celebrated.
