The Violet Index @thevioletindex.bsky.social · 07/08/2026One of the quieter reasons people don't submit is that they freeze on the bio. They feel like they don't have enough to say which means the submission never gets sent. Write three sentences. Name what you make. Say why you make it. Tell us where you're from. Submissions close August 31. Link in bio. 013

The Violet Index @thevioletindex.bsky.social · 24/07/2026A zine exists because someone decided it should. ↓ The Violet Index is a zine. We operate outside the logic that measures a publication's value by circulation numbers or advertiser relationships. #TheVioletIndex #ZineCulture #Zines #IndiePublishing #SmallPress #ArtZine #LiteraryZine #SupportZines 000

The Violet Index @thevioletindex.bsky.social · 16/07/2026If curiosity had a color, what would it be 000
The Violet Index @thevioletindex.bsky.social · 13/07/2026The name has three parts. They are intentional. The color carries centuries of association. With rarity, with royalty, with creative and spiritual depth. It felt right for a publication that approaches the work seriously. Find out more: thevioletindex.carrd.co 000
The Violet Index @thevioletindex.bsky.social · 09/07/2026When you encounter something unfamiliar, do you move toward it in curiosity or away from it in fear? #TheVioletIndex #ArtZine #LiteraryZine #SmallPress #ZineCommunity #ArtistCommunity #WriterCommunity #IndiePublishing 000

The Violet Index @thevioletindex.bsky.social · 05/07/2026Welcome to The Violet Index. We’re making small, curated quarterly zines built around a single idea: curiosity is a form of design. Each issue brings together artists to explore a shared theme—experimenting, collaborating, and building something that lives somewhere between magazine and artifact. 030
