The Curated Collection is our traditional publishing path for standout manuscripts that truly fit the Fuzzy Foot Press vision. Authors accepted into this program pay nothing: editing, cover design, formatting, ISBNs, and publishing costs are fully covered by us. This route is highly selective, offering a boutique, hands-on publishing experience with royalties paid directly to the author.
You can learn more about what we publish, including genres, themes, and submission guidelines on the Fuzzy Foot Press Submission Page. If you're interested in traditional publishing, that page will walk you through exactly what we're looking for and how to submit your manuscript.

Because we carry the financial risk, we only publish a small number of titles each year and accept manuscripts that align with our press’s vision, themes, and quality standards.
