Had a great experience with Parker Publishing
Writing a book and having it published, especially if it is your first book, is both a thrill, and a feather in your cap.
I have just completed my first experience with Parker Publishing and, if you are looking for an honest opinion, honest feed back, then let me give you mine.
I give Parker 20/10.
My experience with then was fantastic, from beginning to end, definitely on the positive side. I found their professionalism and willingness to constantly fall over backwards to accommodate my flow of editing inputs and adjustments impressive.
Whilst how well the sales of your book will go cannot be guaranteed by Parker, obviously, I have, based on my own experiences with them, absolutely no hesitation whatsoever in recommending them to you for your consideration. The production end of my game with them was excellent.
Now my book has to see what it will do on its own merits.
If you want to see what a finished Parker e-book product looks like, do, just go to Amazon and look for the book they did for me "Whatever happened to the love we once knew?", a book which explains why couples who engaged with each other at the start of their relationship in a state of intense can’t-take-my-hands-off you desire and passion, end up becoming, no longer lovers , but now, polite co-dependent room-mates, who are not sure they really like each other. I think you will be very impressed by the quality of their production work.
And my book will give you the chance to see, first hand, what Parker did for me, and maybe can replicate for you.
Personally, i am very pleased to give Parker a glowing report, should it be of interest to you.

I spent $4,600 on marketing services for my self-published book. After 4 months plus, I have made a total of $17.00 in sales profits from Amazon. The marketing staff seems to be expert but this is abysmal. Worst mistake I've ever made to bite on the illusion that the marketing might help.
Communication was the key
Communication was the key. Any question I had was answered.
Striving for excellence.
Parker Publishes was quick to accept my ideas for the book and they were willing to work with me on this first book. They kept the project moving forward at a good pace. Leo and Sandy were friendly and good to work with on the project. The People strove for excellence in writing and also drive the project forward at a great pace. Sandy was friendly and cooperative.
Don't be scared of hybrid publishing @ Parker
Parker understood my unfamiliarity with the publishing process. They took care of me from the start of the process all the way through to helping brand myself as an authorr.
Sandy at Parker Publishing was terrific…
Sandy at Parker Publishing was terrific help in getting our book published. We presented Parker with a no chapter manuscript, and they were able to edit the document, segment the manuscript into titled chapters, create an excellent cover and place the finished book on several platforms, including Amazon and Barnes and Noble. The feedback on the finished product was excellent. The price was reasonable and we'd would do it again. Thank you Sandy.
Sandi was great to work with!
Sandi worked very quickly to get all the final pieces of the project together. Her email responses were prompt and she did a great job explaining the process to this new author.
Grateful
I am incredibly grateful to Bryan Riley, who served as my project manager during the publishing process of my manuscript. Words cannot express how pleased I am that Parker Publishers took on the role of my publishing company. I never felt overwhelmed because I was consistently informed about the next steps throughout the process. This is my first manuscript, and thanks to Parker Publishers, I had an outstanding experience overall. I could not have achieved the milestone of becoming a published author without the wonderful team of experts working on my behalf. Parker Publishers, you are the best!

I love working with the Parker publisher they provided great service to me and I'm very happy with the overall effort and work.
The Parker Publishers staff
The Parker Publishers staff which includes Sandy Stevens, Justin Sedaris, and Tyler Croman have been creative, innovative, and helpful with putting together my website (authorchristopherjohngonsalves.com) and establishing content for Facebook and Instagram. During the editing process they were resilient with patience. I plan to work with Parker Publishers for a lifetime.

For all her work.
Lola Wansley. Awesome in every way, love
This company.
Thank your, Jay!
Jay has been a great sounding board on the ideas for plot and character development. He has done so with interest in the work and has not pushed me to make a decision. Thanks Jay!
Five-Star Service for Aspiring Authors
Jay Davis at Parker Publishers has been absolutely amazing to work with over the past two weeks. From our very first conversation, he was incredibly informative, patient, and genuinely invested in helping me understand every step of the publishing process. He took the time to answer all of my questions thoroughly and never made me feel rushed or pressured.
What stood out most was how knowledgeable and transparent he was. As a new author navigating the publishing world, that level of clarity and guidance meant everything to me. Jay made what can feel overwhelming actually feel manageable and exciting.
I truly appreciate his professionalism, responsiveness, and dedication. If you’re looking for someone who is helpful, insightful, and truly cares about authors and their goals, I highly recommend Jay Davis at Parker Publishers.
Parker Publishing makes it possible for unknown authors to publish their work.
Parker Publishing makes it possible for unknown authors to become published in a more traditional sense, rather than the self publishing route. Your input is desired throughout every step of the way. This is a long process that was prolonged due to multiple factors. However, I think the end result will be worth it all. Thanks Parker Publishing!
A gold star to Mandy--
What made the overall experience good was how everyone from Maxine Black to Sandy Stevenson of Parker Publishers handled the process needed to publish my work both professionally and in a respectable time frame. In addition, Maxine, had put together a package that made it affordable for me to have my novel Firecracker edited and published. Sandy, was authentically concern with my personal situation while having my novel The Shibboleth converted to an audio book as well. Also, my gratitude would be pointless if it wasn't for the marvelous narration by Mandy. I thank all 3 of them dearly.

Jay was thoughtful and made me feel inspired to get going on this project I have had in mind for two years.
Professional and trustworthy
I reached out to see about getting a book I wrote published. I have absolutely no experience in this field and was looking for guidance and professional direction. I contacted a number of Literary agents and publishing companies with little or no success (interest) in the subject matter I wrote about. After contacting Parker Publishing I talked to Jay Davis. He showed a strong interest in what I was writing about and asked if I could supply my writing to him for review. I did that and he took the time to review my book and sent me back an Editorial Assessment. That was extremely helpful in my decision to continue with getting my book out to the public. We have spoken a few times since then about the best course of direction for me to accomplish what I have spent twenty five years compiling. Initially, I was very concerned about having my unpublished book in someone else's hands, (for obvious reasons), but, Jay did make me feel comfortable in having Parker Publishing having my book. Jay has pointed out things that I should look at as the structure of the body of the book, and I agree with his assesment and I am currently addressing those suggestions. This has been a dream of mine in finishing this book and getting it out since my friend Louis Bitonti, who was the inspiration and force behind this effort, has passed.
Fantastic service
Book publishing consultant Sarah Edwards, and Sr Consultant Jay were both fantastic in helping me get to send in my submission
