About Second Needle

We believe erotic fiction deserves the same literary care as any other genre. Our name comes from the belief that great sensual writing requires precision—like threading a second needle through fabric already sewn—adding layers of meaning, desire, and emotional truth to every story.

Founded by writers and editors who saw a gap between explicit content and genuine literary merit, Second Needle publishes work that honors both the body and the mind. Our authors craft narratives where desire serves the story, and intimacy reveals character.

We're committed to diverse voices, thoughtful representation, and stories that treat their characters—and readers—with respect.
