About the magazine

The Little Journal of Northeast India is an independent literary and arts publication founded to amplify voices from India's Northeast and its diaspora. Since its inception, it has provided a vital platform for poetry, fiction, essays, and visual art that often remain underrepresented in mainstream Indian literature. The journal is committed to fostering a nuanced understanding of the region's diverse cultures, histories, and contemporary realities, publishing work that is both rooted in place and universally resonant.

Editorial focus

The Litt le Journal of Northeast India is interested in the everyday stories of people, places, and things based on or inspired from Northeast India. Their published poems, flash fiction, photographs, artwork, interviews, and essays explore and celebrate the underrepresented yet rich and diverse region of Northeast India. The editors are looking for pieces that stick with people long after they have first read or witnessed it.
