The magazine wouldn’t exist today without the following founding editors and foundational supporters: Isaac Fitzgerald (co-founder and managing editor), Roxane Gay (essays), Cheryl Strayed (Dear Sugar), Katy Henriksen (music), Paul Madonna (comics), Molly McArdle (Tumblr), Jason Novak (illustration), Rebecca Rubenstein (interviews), Brian Spears (poetry), and to our former store manager, Wendy Rutkowski.
Thanks also to former publishers Marisa Siegel and Alyson Sinclair, former editors-in-chief Alysia Li Ying Sawchyn and Aram Mrjoian, and managing editors Lisa Dusenbery, Marissa Korbel, Zoë Ruiz, and Lyz Lenz.
We are also grateful for the guidance and support of Mary-Kim Arnold, Melissa Febos, Julie Greicius, Christine H. Lee, Celeste Ng, Claire Vaye Watkins, Julie Buntin, and our former volunteer board members Catherine Campbell, Kristine Leja, Courtney Maum, Kelly Sundberg, Cindy Tran, Mark Wallace, and Reema Zaman.
And to every volunteer reader, editor, contributor, and artist we’ve published on The Rumpus: you are the reason we exist. Thank you for being a part of the magazine’s past, present, and future.
