Filthy Loot is open to submissions from everyone. Baseless on age, sex, creed, or race. 

Anthology guidelines are included at the bottom.

Filthy Loot is a small press looking for interesting work from emerging and established writers and artists. While the press has become known for our horror anthologies and titles, I’m also looking for transgressive, thought-provoking works grounded in contemporary reality. Which is also how I would describe my predilection toward horror.

I’m the only reader here. Admittedly, that comes with its pitfalls. All submissions are being considered on the preferences of one person. All rejections are solely based on how well it fits the project and the press’s overall scope.

I’m available to people who want to drop me a “Hi” or “Would you be interested in something like this?” I’m trying my best to avoid submission platforms these days. You can contact me directly via email or social media.

Simultaneous submissions are welcomed, but please let me know as soon as you do if it’s been accepted elsewhere. Please and thank you.

Short Stories (2-6k words)

For submission to various anthologies and zines.

Novellas (approx. 30k words)

Our format (4×6) doesn’t lend itself to people who want to write the next Moby Dick or The Stand.

Collections (approx. 30k words)
Same with the novellas, we prefer highly focused and interesting projects. While we accept poetry submissions, my taste is highly subjective.

Art
Alright, this is trickier than the poetry subject. We’re looking to do a few zines with interesting artists. Currently, there is no hard and fast rule other than. “I think that works for what I’m trying to get out there.”
