RSM Team

Michael Malan’s first stamp was a newsboy and the words “Big News.” He’s editor at RSM, as well as editor of Cloudbank Books, a poetry press that shares office space with the magazine. His four published books include both poetry and flash fiction.

Even since becoming editor of RSM, Roberta Sperling has been amazed at what stampers create. Getting to know people in “the rubber world” has been a joy and an honor. Roberta adds stamp art to paper checks. Tellers at her bank are impressed.

Angela has worked her dream job as the Promotions and Partnerships Specialist with RSM for more that two decades. Her goal is to connect stampers with companies and resources. She’s “stamping by“ to serve the rubber community!

Karen lives on the southern coast of Washington state, within 30 miles of two stamp stores. This is why the main bedroom of her house has been turned into the “perfect craft room.” She’s been stamping since the early 90’s and even had her own stamp line for a while.

Rachel is a poet and editor who found a home at RubberStampMadness. She works primarily as the subscription manager, wrestling with the database, fielding phone calls, and zipping through snail mail. Her job is to make sure all RSM subscribers receive their copies on time.

Christina loves to read, write, and create rubber stamp art. She also enjoys the beauty of the Sonoran Desert, cactus of all types, and any cat she meets. She’s been connected with RubberStampMadness for over two decades. She lives in Sun City West, Arizona.

Sarah is a freelance writer and editor and works for nonprofit organizations and publications. She is author of Daily Life in Ancient and Modern Paris, a history of Paris for middle-graders, and has contributed chapters to two other books. She has also appeared on Jeopardy, so ask her anything.

Karen was introduced to rubber stamping in 1997; her first piece for RubberStampMadness was a catalog review in the May/June 1999 issue! She's called Surprise, Arizona home since 2010. She loves reading, creative arts and crafting, and is owned by four cats.

An avid stamper since 2000, Sue feels all the new, inspiring toys the industry continues to create make this wonderful hobby even more spectacular than before. She hopes the joy she finds in stamping comes through in her writing for RSM. Laughter is a lot more fun when shared.

Renee has enjoyed stamping for more than 20 years. She also makes beaded jewelry, sews clothing, and quilts. She earned a degree in Mass Communications and spent most of her career in Public Relations for a variety of organizations. Born and raised in Missouri, she now lives outside of Philadelphia, PA.
