WE’RE LOOKING FOR BLACK WOMEN WRITERS

midnight & indigo, a literary journal celebrating Black women writers, has issued a call for submissions to review short stories and narrative essays. We publish content on our digital platform and in our literary journals (paperback/ebook/audiobook). In 2024, we will publish our first long-form anthology!

Writers are invited to share their original, fictional, or personal stories. Stories can funny, entertaining, serious, or sincere. Stories must be character-driven and leave readers with something to think about. All genres are welcome!

WE’RE LOOKING FOR ONLINE WRITING INSTRUCTORS

Are you a Black writer, editor, teacher, or aspiring contributor with a knack for instruction and storytelling? If that’s you, we’d love to hear from you.

We launched our Writing Program in 2022, focused on offering writing, craft, genre-based, and workshopping classes to writers of all experience levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced). Our instructors have a wide range of teaching, writing, and experience levels — we encourage you to apply, even if you are new to or are looking for teaching experience. We recommend reviewing our published works at midnightandindigo.com for a sense of our content and the writer population we serve.

For now, all classes will be held via Zoom. Courses should include a combination of writing exercises, lectures, and in-class discussions.
This is a paid opportunity; the pay scale will be discussed with chosen applicants upon receipt of the query; and based upon curriculum and time commitment.

You may apply HERE.
