About us

The folks at Muddy Paw Press have gathered to accomplish a singular and important goal: find, edit, and publish striking fiction from authors all across the world.

To us, being a small press means being fiercely devoted to our authors. It means we commit a tremendous amount of time to each acquisition, and that we're allies before we're editors or publishers. To that end, our royalties are among the highest in the world at a clean 50% cut. It seems plain to us that authors deserve far more than the paltry 8% cuts some major publishing houses offer.

We're actively seeking out novels in all genres, but are currently especially interested in Epic Fantasy and Horror.

What about American Dread?  Our Horror anthology will be back in 2023! We'll soon be accepting short story submissions for that - keep an eye out!
