The Rumpus publishes original fiction, poetry, literary humor writing, comics, essays, book reviews, and interviews with authors and artists of all kinds. Founded in 2009 and independent from the start, The Rumpus is a home for excellent, incisive writing that stands the test of time. We welcome work from both emerging and established writers. (We are closed to interviews until September.) All work must be previously unpublished. This includes personal blogs and social media.
- I wish this didn't have to be said, but it has to be said. We don't accept or even consider work that was written with assistance from or by AI.
- We are an all volunteer publication and hope to respond to your submission within three (3) months. Please do not query before three months have elapsed.
- Please only send one submission to a given section at a time; when we've responded with a decision, you are welcome to submit to that section again.
- We accept simultaneous submissions. Please promptly withdraw your submission if your work is accepted at another publication
- Please note if you are an annual Rumpus member you should've received a link to a "magic" portal via a Member welcome email that ensures a 6 week initial response time. Please use that link to submit to any of the open calls below OR to submit to specific genres (poetry, fiction, essays) outside of our usual open reading periods.
- We accept submissions of fiction, poetry, essays, comics, criticism, and interviews. Accepted work will be published on The Rumpus website and/or in The Rumpus newsletter. More specific guidelines for a given genre can be found at the relevant submission link.
We pay $500 for prose submissions and comics, and $200 for poetry.
