Parker Publishing is a new publisher targeting black and multi-ethnic readers and seeking to earn a reputation with the reading public and in the publishing industry as a house that produces quality books that are fresh, relevant, entertaining, educational and uplifting. Parker Publishing has amassed a stable of over 40 authors (and growing), eight imprints and has twenty-four titles scheduled for its first year.

In 2009, Parker Publishing introduces its multi-ethnic, multi-faceted YA imprint, MOXIE. As the name suggests, these are stories that feature strong, resourceful young heroines in a variety of genres, from contemporary to science-fiction and fantasy. Crossing all ethnic and social boundaries these stories will speak authentically to the realities of young women from all walks of life. MOXIE won’t shy away from controversial subjects relevant to the lives of today’s young women, but it won’t be preachy. The MOXIE heroine surmounts all obstacles in her path, and learns lessons from each. MOXIE heroines are the antithesis of unrealistically pretty and shallow characters that have been popularized in much of YA fiction.

Parker Publishing, LLC, is a royalty offering publishing house with eight imprints.
