What We're Looking For

Grunge Muffin Press publishes fiction only and genres of interest include:

  • Fantasy (YA / crossover / adult)
  • Horror

We publish a small, curated list and do not accept every project that fits these categories.

Our Publishing Model

Grunge Muffin Press operates using a selective hybrid publishing model.

Authors may independently contract professional services—such as design, formatting, or marketing—through providers of their choice. Publishing decisions are made based on editorial fit and production standards, not the purchase of services.

Grunge Muffin Press serves as the publisher of record and assigns ISBNs to all titles published under its imprint.

What We Don’t Accept

  • We do not accept nonfiction
  • We do not accept poetry
  • We do not accept children’s picture books
  • We do not accept AI-generated manuscripts
  • We do not review submissions outside open periods

What Authors Can Expect

  • Transparent communication
  • Professional production standards
  • Collaborative publishing relationships
  • No guarantees of sales or placement

Careful publishing starts with careful timing.
