About

The Rumpus is a place where people come to be themselves through their writing, to tell their stories or speak their minds in the most artful and authentic way they know how, and to invite each of you, as readers, commenters, or future contributors, to do the same. What we have in common is a passion for fantastic writing that’s brave, passionate and true (and sometimes very, very funny).

Founded by Stephen Elliott, The Rumpus launched on January 20, 2009. Since then, our community has grown but we’ve kept our core: we want to change the conversation. We want to introduce you to authors you’ve never heard of before and to provide perspective on books, films, and media that will make you look deeper. What’s meaningful to our writers and readers doesn’t usually fall in step with marketing schedules, breaking news, or what’s trending on the Internet; at The Rumpus, we care about what moves people. We believe that literature is community—and if reading our site makes you want more, we’ve got more: sign up to participate in the Rumpus Book Club, Rumpus Poetry Book Club, Letters in the Mail, Letters for Kids, and, to receive our overly personal newsletter, The Daily Rumpus.

We also hope you’ll contribute to The Rumpus, either by submitting your writing to keep our pages filled with goodness, or by submitting your donation to help keep us in business. The Rumpus is a literary barn-raising, where our writers, editors, illustrators, and readers are all indispensable to who we are. Thanks for coming.
