10 days to go in the The Rumpus’s membership drive! We hope to reach at least 600 members by Dec. 1 to cover our basic operating costs and continue our mission of publishing risk-taking voices and emerging writers. We're now at 446 members (74% of our goal)!

Throughout the 2 week drive, we'll be sharing messages from authors we've published and indie presses we've work with. We hope their words will show you how the writing community is connected, and how we all need one another to survive.

“The Rumpus is home to some of the most riveting and provocative essays I've ever read. It's an online literary magazine that has always pushed the limits of the narrative form. It has taught me so much about the power of storytelling, and has curated a community of readers and writers like no other.”

–Anjali Enjeti, author of Southbound and The Parted Earth

"The Rumpus is a cultural lighthouse for weirdo literary folks everywhere. For a small publisher like Burrow Press, they are a vital resource and authority, shining a light on literature that might otherwise go under the radar via thoughtful reviews and interviews, their book club, not to mention original fiction, poetry and essays that enrich my weekly to-read queue. They are one of the few publications whose URL I type directly into the search bar and take pleasure in simply browsing to see what's new. As if that weren't enough, Burrow has also been lucky to partner with The Rumpus on so many amazing literary events (like, actually fun ones!). I'd give them a kidney if they needed one, so the least you can do is give them a little scratch."

—Ryan Rivas, publisher of Burrow Press

This includes fiction, essays, poetry, comics, interviews, book reviews, themed columns and special issues, and more.
