Our Story
Stories worth carrying forward.
Some experiences are too meaningful to let fade into the rearview mirror. A stretch of old highway. A conversation with a stranger. A plan that went sideways and became the best part of the day. Sometimes, the smallest moments turn out to be the ones we remember most.
Next Mile Press provides a home for stories like those. Its first publications grew from a love of Route 66 and the desire to put lived experiences into words—not simply to record where the road went, but to capture what it felt like to be there.
Our books begin with the Mother Road, but the idea reaches beyond any one highway: places have histories, people have stories, and the miles between them matter.
