COMMUNITY SUPPORT KEEPS THE MAGAZINE GOING!
Founded in 2009 in San Francisco and now based in Asheville, NC (with editors and contributors all over the US and abroad!), The Rumpus is one of the longest-running online literary magazines around. We’ve been independent from the start, which means we’re not connected with any academic institution, wealthy benefactor, or part of a larger publishing company. The vast majority of the magazine’s funding comes from reader support.
In other words, we can’t survive without YOU!
