About Us
Why Us
Why Us
We started as, and continue to be artists and writers. We love to create and write! However, at some point, our involvement in the commercial and literary world slowly started to include some proofreading for others. That was the beginning of our metamorphic journey. Soon to follow were requests for copywriting, copy editing, ghost writing, formatting of manuscripts for printing, book cover designing, and eventually --- "Please help me publish my book." Thus, the Green Parrot Press.
It is gratifying to work with authors, helping with the “birth” of their arduous efforts, and presenting their work for the enjoyment and education of others. We have found that this can best be accomplished by establishing a close, personal working relationship with our clients. Each author has unique and varying needs, so we have designed our services in a way that allows individual customization. We are ready to work with you on small assignments or develop a complete, comprehensive plan to transform your idea into a published book with international distribution opportunities.
Our on-board staff is small, but supplemented when necessary by highly trained professionals that we have known and worked with for years. This flexible structure affords Green Parrot Press the opportunity to provide boutique-style services juxtaposed with economical pricing.
