Who we are:
We publish stories that punch above their weight.
Gritty fiction. Honest voices. Working-class poetry.
Founded by a veteran and storyteller, Mid-Shift Press is a small independent publisher committed to lifting overlooked narratives—especially from those who’ve served, survived, and kept their sense of humor intact.
We're not about polish. We’re about purpose.
Books that clock in early, stay late, and speak the truth.
Mid-Shift Press exists to give a platform to voices that don’t fit neatly on a shelf. Veterans. Rust-belt romantics. Survivors of systems that promised more.
Our stories are literary but loud, heartfelt but unpretentious. We believe in storytelling as a form of protest, connection, and healing.
This isn’t just about books. It’s about representation. It’s about remembering the people who don’t get remembered.
Whether it’s a novel, a personal essay, or a small-town epic—you’ll know a Mid-Shift Press book when you read it.
