Fledgling Listing: This project is new and has been listed with us for less than six months.

About

Indigo is a newly established, independent quarterly literary journal publishing work captured in the twilight. We occupy the liminal boundary between the visible spectrum and the deep dark—where the natural order meets psychological distortion.
We're looking for projects that occupy in-between spaces, hovering in the moments 'before.' Show us the jagged pink edge of twilight just before moon rise, when the sky goes from blue to indigo-black. Take us off the beaten trail. We want to see things through new eyes, hear things through new ears. Make us think. Make us feel. Now is your moment; show us a new world.

Before Submitting

We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. It is not unusual for publications to evolve or close without notice. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible.

Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
Be professional, patient, and persistent.
