Rachel Nix

Rachel Nix is a southern poet, aware of her home’s faults but proud of its warmth and resilience. She was born in northwest Alabama and chose to remain there, though it’s not the sort of place that competes to stay up with the times. Small town life affords her dogs the freedom to run loose and remain untamed. She’s trying to live like them.

As an editor for Screen Door Review, she is passionate about publishing literary voices of the Queer South.

Her own work has been nominated for Best New Poets and Best of the Net. Her first book, I Don’t Go Down That Road Anymore, will be released in April 2026 by Lion Bridge Publishing.
