71% raised and $4,361 to go! With words from Voices on Addiction . . . |
|
There's only 4 days left to ensure that we can continue publishing at the same pace in 2024-25 and TRIPLE OUR funding pool for the 300 contributors we plan to publish between August 2024-July 2025. Thanks to the 126 supporters below, we've reach 71% of our goal and raised $10,639 of our $15K goal.
We need your help TODAY to raise the remaining 29% by THIS FRIDAY. Can you show your support by making a tax-deductible donation?
Today we want to share some of the experiences of authors we've published and partners we've worked with recently for our Voices on Addiction column. The Rumpus regularly publishes a few topics-focused columns dedicated to marginalized writers such as ENOUGH (devoted to creating a dedicated space for essays, poetry, and fiction by women, trans, and nonbinary people that engage with rape culture, sexual assault, and domestic violence), We Are More (for Southwest Asian and North African (SWANA) and SWANA diaspora writers), Funny Women (humor writing by non-men), and Voices on Addiction, which is writing devoted to personal narratives of addiction.
It's part of our mission to make space and lift up authors writing from a vulnerable place. If you value publications who handle stories like this with care, please show your support. |

| About The Rumpus: Founded in 2009, The Rumpus is one of the longest-running online literary magazines around. We’ve been independent since the start, which means we're not connected with any academic institution or part of a larger publishing company; no rich investor is paying the bills. Our magazine is primarily volunteer-run and focuses on publishing emerging writers and historically underrepresented voices. In recent years, we’ve paid special attention to the latter demographic with the addition of our Rumpus Original Poetry section as well as columns dedicated to marginalized writers such as ENOUGH (devoted to creating a dedicated space for essays, poetry, and fiction by women, trans, and nonbinary people that engage with rape culture, sexual assault, and domestic violence), Voices on Addiction (devoted to personal narratives of addiction), and We Are More (for Southwest Asian and North African (SWANA) and SWANA diaspora writers). We are committed to supporting the literary community at large, and also regularly publish interviews with authors and book reviews of both poetry and prose titles. |
