Hey, my name is
Rachael Maddux.

I’m a writer and an editor living in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

My memoir, Life Expectancy, comes out March 26, 2024. It’s about growing up mortal in the American South at the turn of the millennium. I’m publishing it myself. You can pre-order 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.
