Mo Daviau is the author of the novel Every Anxious Wave (St. Martin's Press, 2016). Her essays have appeared in The Offing, The Toast, and Nailed Magazine, among others. A graduate of the Helen Zell Writers' Program at the University of Michigan, she is currently living in her native Southern California, awaiting the rebirth of wonder, or at least her social life. Mo is applying to counseling graduate programs in hopes of becoming a very good therapist in a few years, and is at work on an essay collection about ancestral trauma.

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.
