Author's rights
After we publish poetry or prose in Meridian, all rights revert to our authors. If you wish to reprint, repost, or redistribute work in any form, it is your responsibility to contact the writer and secure permission. You do not need Meridian‘s permission to reprint, though we always appreciate an acknowledgment of first publication, when feasible.
Additional info
Meridian poetry and prose has appeared in Best American Poetry, Best American Short Stories, Best American Essays, the Pushcart Prize anthology, and New Stories from the South. Our stories have also been short-listed for the O. Henry Prize. Copies. The authors we publish receive two complimentary copies of the issue in which their work appears and can purchase more at a reduced rate.
