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 the Rumpus Poetry Book Club and Letters in the Mail from authors. And join us by becoming a monthly or yearly Member.

We support independent bookstores! 10% of sales on any titles purchased through our Bookshop.org page or affiliate links benefits the magazine.

The Rumpus needs your help. Our Summer fundraising goal is to raise $15,000 to DIRECTLY support our 300 2024-25 contributors.

Reaching our $15K goal by JULY 12 will allow us to triple our current monthly contributor budget. Can you support us at any level? Every dollar counts and is a sign that collectively we value creative labor and independent publishing.

YEs, I'd like to help!
