Doubly Mad: A Journal of Arts and Ideas — Submissions

Overview
Doubly Mad operates as a journal of arts and ideas, positioning itself at the intersection of literary craft and intellectual inquiry. Its pages are dedicated to work that engages with the broader cultural conversation, favoring writing that is as thoughtful as it is well-wrought. The journal seeks to provide a platform for voices that challenge, provoke, and illuminate, without sacrificing formal excellence. The editors welcome submissions in fiction, poetry, and nonfiction. While the journal does not prescribe a single aesthetic, it consistently values work that demonstrates a seriousness of purpose and a commitment to the life of the mind. Writers who submit can expect their work to be read with attention and respect, and those whose pieces are selected will join a community of contributors who take ideas seriously. With a deadline of December 31, 2026, the journal offers a generous window for writers to refine and submit their best work. There is no stated fee, making the opportunity accessible to all. Doubly Mad does not promise prizes or publication perks beyond the intrinsic reward of appearing in a journal that champions substantive writing. It is, in essence, a home for writing that matters.
