Midnight Express Books is a small, women-owned publishing company in Berryville, Arkansas, founded and operated by Linda Huddleston. The company specializes in helping incarcerated authors self-publish their work — a mission it has pursued for more than 30 years.

Midnight Express Books focuses on empowering incarcerated writers to publish their manuscripts professionally. Authors submit their work — often by mail — along with cover concepts or diagrams. The company reviews each submission, provides a quote, and once payment is received, assists with editing, layout, and printing .

It is recognized within the prison-publishing community as one of the few full-time operations dedicated to inmate authors, emphasizing dignity, creative expression, and ownership of intellectual property.

Linda Huddleston (sometimes listed as L. K. Huddleston) is the owner and principal contact for Midnight Express Books . She has built the company around the belief that every author — regardless of circumstance — deserves the chance to see their words in print.
