Please join us in welcoming Meredith Hughes as the new Fiction Editor at Doubleback Review!

Meredith is a PhD student in English Rhetoric and Composition at the University of Cincinnati, where she lives with her roommates: a dog, a few cats, and a thriving jungle of houseplants. She holds an MFA in prose from Miami University and is currently working on an online dating memoir—aka a comedy of errors.

Her work has most recently appeared in wildscape. literary magazine. When she’s not writing, editing, or teaching, you’ll probably find her crocheting, singing, or rewatching New Girl for the umpteenth time.

We’re ecstatic to have her on board and can’t wait to see what she brings to the next issue!

📬 Submissions are open now for our October issue! Got an out-of-print piece of poetry or prose that deserves new life? Send it in by August 15 for a chance to be featured.

Our Story

We believe that out of print should not mean out of mind.

Although other publishers rescue works that have fallen into the public domain from obscurity, few reprint books from small, independent presses that have folded during the twenty-first century and (often through no fault of their own) left new, exciting books to go out of print before their time. Thus, if you are the author of a book that has recently gone out of print because the press closed, Doubleback Books wants to read it. If you are the former editor of a recently closed press with books you believe deserve to return to print, Doubleback Books wants to read them. If we love them, we want to give the world another chance to love them, too.

And if you’ve got pieces previously published at now-defunct literary journals, give them a chance at resurrection: send them to Double Review.
