Kathryn A. Higgins is writer and mom living with her two children. She has a B.A. in English Lit from U.C. Berkeley and an MFA in Writing from Sarah Lawrence College. She's recently published an ebook, Snide Remarks in Sotto Voce, a literary skewering of modern communication and lifestyle, and includes 47 of Kathryn Higgins's humorous writings, most of which have been previously published in literary journals, magazines, and humor webzines. Imagine your most earnest self-help article, career-guidance pamphlet, or villanelle pasted on the wall and punctured with arrows dipped in equal parts humor and snark. You can download it here.

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.
