Karen Halvorsen Schreck’s next novel, Broken Ground, will be published by Simon & Schuster/Howard Books in May 2016. Her last novel, Sing For Me (Simon & Schuster/Howard Books 2012), was called “Impressive . . . a well-wrought and edifying page-turner” by Publisher’s Weekly (Starred Review). She is also the author of two young adult novels, While He Was Away, a Finalist for the 2012 Oklahoma Young Adult Book Award, and Dream Journal, a 2006 Young Adult BookSense Pick. Her published short stories and articles have received various awards, including a Pushcart Prize and an Illinois State Arts Council Grant.

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.
