Gabriella Souza's work has appeared or is upcoming in the Best Small Fictions 2022 anthology, North American Review, USA Today, PS (formerly Popsugar), The Rumpus, Cleaver, and Litro, among others. She received fellowships and scholarships from The Community of Writers, Disquiet International Literary Program, and the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, and she won the 2020 San Miguel Writers’ Conference Writing Contest. She lives in Baltimore with her husband and their dog and two cats, and when she's not writing, she enjoys Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and improv dance.

The Rumpus publishes original fiction, poetry, literary humor writing, comics, essays, book reviews, and interviews with authors and artists of all kinds. Our mostly volunteer-run magazine strives to be a platform for risk-taking voices and writing that might not find a home elsewhere. We lift up new voices alongside those of more established writers our readers may already know and love. We want to bring new perspectives into the conversation that will make us all look deeper.

We believe that literature builds community—and if reading The Rumpus makes you feel more connected, please show your support! Get your Rumpus merch in our online store. Subscribe to receive Letters in the Mail from authors or join us by becoming a monthly or yearly Member.
