The Rumpus Submission Manager
Submittable only displays categories that are open for submission. If you do not see a category, please reference the below reading periods for information on when you can submit.Beginning May 2016, The Rumpus began to pay feature writers and book reviewers. Each month, we set aside $300. 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. Please note that we are currently only able to pay contributors via Paypal, international ACH payments are not possible. 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. One way we are working toward this is by launching a new Membership program in June 2022. We hope to build enough ongoing support to increase the funding pool for contributors sooner than later.We are often overwhelmed by the breadth and quality of our submissions. 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. Please note, that during our open reading periods, we regularly receive 500-1,000+ submissions within a couple of weeks.Please do not submit the same piece to multiple categories at the same time. All work must be previously unpublished, which includes personal blogs and social media. 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.Response time can vary from a few days to a few months. Please allow 3-4 months before sending status queries for essays, fiction, book reviews, and ENOUGH. Please allow 8 months before sending status queries for poetry and our Funny Women column. Your patience is appreciated.Agents and publicists: we strongly prefer that writers submit their own work to us. The Rumpus has an exceptional and diverse editorial team; bypassing Submittable results in fewer readers and editors looking at your work.Rumpus Original Fiction reading periods are February 15 through March 15 and August 1 through August 31.Rumpus Original Poetry reading periods are January 15 through January 20.Our reading periods for Essays are January 1 through February 28, June 1 through July 31, and September 1 through October 31.If you'd like to submit Fiction, Poetry, and Essays up to an additional 4 x a year outside of the the open reading periods, become an annual Rumpus Member. *Please note this perk does not apply to monthly members.Interview pitches and finished interview submissions are accepted year-round and should be sent directly to our Interviews team ([email protected]). We are no longer using Submittable for interviews. Book review submissions are accepted year-round and should be sent through Submittable. Reviews of poetry collections should be directed to "Poetry Book Reviews" and all other reviews should be directed to "Book Reviews."The Rumpus supports and stands with Black Lives Matter.
