Friday, February 9 @ 5 PM

Join The Rumpus for conversation and cocktails with Dionne Ford, Joanna Rakoff, Maggie Smith, & Reema Zaman. Hosted by Kelly McMasters.
✨ Tickets are $20/each and include 1 drink ticket!
These 5 incredible authors write about leaving relationships. These women explode traditional story arcs of a beginning, middle, and end. Instead, they explore alternate ways to move through narrative--in fiction, memoir, essay, and poetry--and reach toward the more complex and powerful movement of moving on.
Doors open @ 5 PM
Event begins promptly @ 5:30 PM
Stay for cocktails and good company until 7 PM
✨ The indie bookstore Helianthus Books will be onsite handling bookstores. Authors are happy to sign copies of their books!
*Ticket fees help us cover venue rental cost, Eventbrite fees, taxes, and labor costs. Once expenses are covered, any remaining revenue will go toward supporting ourcontributor pay for 2024.

 $20 ticketed event (includes 1 free drink!)

 Reader Support Keeps The Rumpus Going! 

 Founded in 2009 in San Francisco, CA and now based in Asheville, NC with readers and editors all over the US and abroad, The Rumpusis one of the longest-running independent online literary and culture magazines. Our mostly volunteer-run magazine strives to be a platform for risk-taking voices and writing that might not find a home elsewhere. We lift up new voices alongside those of more established writers readers already know and love. Often, we are an emerging writer's first notable publication, which is something we’re really proud of. We believe that literature builds community—and if reading The Rumpus makes you feel more connected, please show your support! Our Membership and subscription programs along with tax-deductible donations made to The Rumpus through our fiscal sponsor, Fractured Atlas, help keep us going and brings us closer to sustainability.
