Hey, my name is
Rachael Maddux.

I’m a writer living in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

My memoir, Life Expectancy, is out now. It’s about growing up mortal in the American South at the turn of the millennium. You can buy it here.

My essays, features, and reviews have appeared in the Oxford American, Virginia Quarterly Review, Garden & Gun, and elsewhere. You can read some of them here.

I write an occasional newsletter called Vanitas.

If you want to get in touch, please do.
