That's How It Works is a vibrant collection of fiction from Hub City Press’s first thirty years, showcasing the incredible talent nurtured by this community-driven literary press. Featuring contributions from Hub City Press authors, past Writers-in-Residence, staff, and friends, the collection spans an impressive range of voices, styles, and stories. Set across the South and nation, they share a yearning for communication and connection.

With an introduction by Hub City Press Publisher Meg Reid, That's How It Works is both a celebration of three decades of publishing from the margins and a testament to the transformative power of community in creating literature.
