The Rumpus store sales accounts for over 90% of the funds we currently use to cover our basic operating costs and keep The Rumpus running without a paywall. This includes sales of merchandise and (especially!) our ongoing subscription programs: Letters in the Mail from authors and the Rumpus Membership program (with special perks for supporters). Each of these programs along with tax-deductible donations made to The Rumpus through our fiscal sponsor, Fractured Atlas, helps keep us going and brings us closer to sustainability.
We also have t-shirts, sweatshirts, and NOW the classic ceramic “Write like a Motherfucker” mug available in small batches to ship WORLDWIDE via Bonfire. Get your new merch here.
We are also now offering The Writer’s Welcome Kit, a 5-week asynchronous online course for beginning writers. Click here for more information and to sign up.
