What we publish
Literary, cinematic, character-led work.
The list starts with fiction that can carry emotional weight, a strong sense of place, and enough tension to stay under the skin.
About
A small independent press with a clear point of view.
Second Mile Press is founded by Stephanie Huntsberry and based in Austin, Texas. The press is built to publish fiction and story-driven work with patience, taste, and enough room for each book to matter.
Where it starts
One title, one identity, room to grow.
This first version of the site is deliberately lean. Books come first. The press voice stays clear. The rest of the catalog can grow from there.
How it should feel
Editorial, restrained, and quietly premium.
The goal is not to imitate a huge publisher. It is to make a small press site feel intentional enough that the scale reads as confidence, not absence.
What comes next
Books, authors, notes, and a fuller catalog.
Launch starts with one book. Future versions can grow into more titles, authors, news, and submissions without losing the original tone of the press.
