midnight & indigo lit — midnight & indigo — 2026 Online teaching position inquiry

Overview
midnight & indigo operates as a literary organization with a distinct curatorial focus: the cultivation and publication of Black women's writing. Since launching its online class platform in 2022, it has extended its mission into pedagogy, offering courses that range from foundational craft to genre-specific workshops. The platform serves writers at beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels, suggesting a pedagogical structure attentive to varied stages of development rather than a single, monolithic audience. The call is for instructors—writers, editors, teachers, or aspiring contributors—who possess both instructional skill and a capacity for storytelling. Notably, the organization explicitly welcomes applicants who are new to teaching or seeking teaching experience, indicating an openness to emerging pedagogical voices alongside established ones. This is not a conventional faculty appointment but an invitation to propose courses that align with the platform's existing curriculum: short story and novel writing, craft elements such as character, plot, dialogue, and scene, genre-based courses in speculative and romance fiction, essay writing, editing, and book analysis. What instructors receive is not enumerated in material terms; the opportunity is framed as a platform for teaching and contribution. The curatorial vision is implicit in the recommendation that applicants review midnight & indigo's published works to understand the writer population served. That directive signals that successful proposals will be those that resonate with the specific literary community the organization has built—one that values craft, genre literacy, and the voices of Black women. There is no fee to apply, and the deadline is exact: January 1, 2027.
