View this email in your browser Hello Readers, We're 1 week into our end of year Membership Drive and at this moment we're 288 Members away from reaching our goal of 600 Members by the end of 2022. Membership is an absolutely crucial part of our funding model, and we'll happily end our Drive early if we meet our goal any time before Dec. 31!😊 Here are some kind words from author and Rumpus contributor Gina Frangello on The Rumpus's unique place in the literary community. We published over 400 writers in 2022 and over 90% came in through our no-fee open reading periods. We hope you'll agree that being a space for people who come "to literature through the back doors" is important. JOIN us or DONATE now to help us plan for a better 2023! ✨Two Membership Options!✨ We now have 2 Monthly Membership options available. A Digital only Membership at $7/month or $77/year OR a Membership + Letters in the Mail (from authors) option for $15/month or $150/year. Want to gift a Membership to a writer or reader in your life? Choose "This is a GIFT" and add the recipient's email for the digital subscription or the email + mailing address (if you're gifting the Membership + Letters in the Mail option). **Note: Digital Memberships begin same day, Letters Members will receive their 1st letter in the mail at the beginning of Dec. (sign up by Nov. 30), mid- Dec. (sign up by Dec. 14), or 1st of Jan. (sign up by Dec. 31) and so on! Make a DONATION ​Already a Member or a reader who believes keeping The Rumpus alive is a big enough perk on its own? Please consider making a DONATION. Now that we have fiscal sponsorship through Fractured Atlas, a tax-deductible gift is also an option (in any amount) either as a one-time or recurring gift. ​ Thank you for showing us you value the work we do and the writers we publish! -Alyson Sinclair, Publisher, The Rumpus You received this email because you subscribed to our list.
