We are OPEN TO SUBMISSIONS!
Send us your best poetry, fiction, and non-fiction!
We are excited to announce that we will begin reading non-fiction prose again during this reading period (beginning October 2) thanks to Mary Katherine Moylan, who is joining Doubly Mad as Non-Fiction editor!
Doubly Mad does not consider work that has been published previously in print or online journals, except by invitation. We do not exclude work from consideration if it has appeared in some form on social media; however, we ask that you inform us if this is the case. That said, we are not interested in casual blog posts, etc.
Do not submit more than one type of work at a time, and please do not submit more than once per reading period. Additional submissions will be deleted unread. Please follow our guidelines for each genre.
Also, please add our email address:
submissions@doublymad.org
to your contact list so we can communicate with you! Sometimes our messages are blocked or sent to a Spam folder.
Nota Bene: We are an all-volunteer organization. Our readers and editors try to process submissions in a timely fashion, usually up to 3 months, but it may take longer. If you don’t hear from us after 3 months, feel free to email us with your name and the title of your submission in the subject line and we will respond asap. We accept simultaneous submissions, but we ask that you inform us immediately if your piece is accepted elsewhere for publication.
Send submissions to:
Please include in the subject line the type of submission (poetry, fiction, visual art) and include a brief cover letter / artist statement.
We do not charge reading fees.
We currently provide our contributors a free copy of Doubly Mad.
As a brief word about how we review submissions: We are living in a rich era of writing and art-making. The range of styles and methods are often hard to keep up with, and each has its own niche as well as its avenues for reaching an audience. Doubly Mad is itself an expression of this diversity. We like to read a wide array of material, and consequently avoid generalizing what we like with easy, but ultimately unhelpful, parameters. If a poem or story absorbs us, we are likely to want to include it in our publication. If it doesn’t, for technical reasons or personal preferences, we won’t. Because we are a small annual publication, we can’t possibly include all the work we want to! Doubly Mad publishes work by both emerging and established creatives and looks forward to your submissions.
If your work is accepted we reserve first publication rights which revert to the author after publication and ask that you acknowledge Doubly Mad in any subsequent publications of your work. We do occasionally exercise our right to edit accepted work and will review any edits with our contributors.
