Discover Our StoryAbout Us
Nightshift Press LLC is an independent publishing house rooted in community, creativity, and the quiet magic that happens after dark — when writers sit down and let the words come.
Founded with a love for local voices, we publish our own titles alongside carefully selected works by authors from our community. Whether you're a first-time writer or a seasoned storyteller, we believe your words deserve to be read.
We're small by choice. Personal by nature. And deeply committed to the craft of publishing done right.
What We Offer
We offer a warm, hands-on approach to independent publishing — from our own titles to supporting local authors ready to share their work with the world.
Original works authored and published in-house, crafted with attention and offered to readers who appreciate thoughtful, independent writing.
We work with a small number of local authors to help bring their manuscripts to life — from editing through to a finished, published book.
An annual anthology of poetry, prose, and images from people connected to the Ohio & Erie Canal corridor. Rooted in place, quiet in spirit.
Get In Touch
Whether you're a local author with a manuscript, a reader with a question, or someone curious about the autumn anthology — we'd love to hear from you.
