In case you missed it, yesterday we launched a $15,000 fundraiser to DIRECTLY SUPPORT our 2024-25 contributors!
In the first 24 hours we raised $4,968, 33% of our goal! We have $10,032 to go and 17 days left to get there, but this is an incredible start. The first few days of crowdfunding campaigns are especially crucial---both for morale and helping us predict if we'll actually reach our goal. If you can make a tax-deductible donation now, please do!

| 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. |
