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, The Rumpus Poetry Book Club, 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 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.
