Second Mile Press
Story-driven books with heart, edge, and a strong sense of place.
A small independent press publishing fiction that can carry weight, atmosphere, and real human pressure without losing clarity.
Austin, TexasFounded by Stephanie HuntsberryFirst release
First forthcoming title
Some People's Kids
The opening title on the list, framed as a sharp, story-first novel with heart, edge, and a strong sense of place.
Featured book
A press with one title and enough confidence to let it breathe.
Launching small is an advantage if the design, voice, and catalog feel intentional. The first book becomes the center of gravity instead of one tile in a crowded storefront.

Some People's Kids
A character-led novel about pressure, family damage, and the kind of hurt that keeps moving long after the moment should have passed.
The site can stay small while still signaling legitimacy. Books, press identity, contact, and updates are enough for a strong first version.
