Thanks also to former publisher Marisa Siegel, former editors-in-chief Alysia Li Ying Sawchyn and Aram Mrjoian, and managing editors Lisa Dusenbery, Marissa Korbel, Zoë Ruiz, and Lyz Lenz. We are also especially grateful for the guidance and support of Mary-Kim Arnold, Melissa Febos, Julie Greicius, Christine H. Lee, Celeste Ng, and Claire Vaye Watkins.
And to every volunteer reader, editor, contributor, and artist we’ve published on The Rumpus: you are the reason we exist. Thank you for being a part of the magazine’s past, present, and future.
