Publishing
Publishing thoughtful business and fiction with clarity, care and intent.
Stepple Farm is an independent publisher of business and fiction titles.
​
We publish work that is thoughtful, well-crafted and meaningful — whether practical, literary or somewhere in between. Our focus is on quality over quantity, and on building a small, coherent catalogue rather than chasing trends.
Publishing at Stepple Farm is intentional, selective and values-led.
Our Authors
Adam Prior
Adam Prior is an upmarket contemporary fiction author writing about love, loss, friendship and the quiet absurdity of modern life.
​
His novels are character-led, warm and emotionally intelligent, balancing humour with reflection. They explore how people carry grief, rebuild relationships and find connection in unexpected places.
Adam’s work sits comfortably within the upmarket literary fiction space — accessible, humane and quietly affecting.
Our Books
Fiction
Our fiction titles focus on contemporary life, relationships and emotional truth. These are novels that favour character over gimmick, warmth over sentimentality, and insight over easy resolution.
Business
Our business titles are practical, experience-led and grounded in real leadership challenges. They are written for people doing the work - the founders, leaders and teams navigating complexity - rather than for those interested only in theory.
Forthcoming
Our catalogue develops slowly and deliberately. New titles and authors are added as projects emerge that align with our values and publishing ethos.
