Please note, that during our open reading periods, we regularly receive 500-1,000+ submissions within a couple of weeks. To allow our volunteer editorial staff to better handle the workload and respond to your work in a more timely fashion, we've instituted reading periods for certain sections of The Rumpus. We are often overwhelmed by the breadth and quality of our submissions. We hope to build enough ongoing support to increase the funding pool for contributors sooner than later. One way we are working toward this is by through a new Membership program. We know that this amount is not enough, and we are always working toward being able to pay a standard industry rate to all feature contributors and book reviewers. Please note that we are currently only able to pay contributors via Paypal, international ACH payments are not possible. All eligible contributors are able to opt in for payment at the end of the month, and the money is divided between those writers who opt in.
