A home for stories worth telling.
An independent publishing house bringing thoughtful books into the world — with care, craft, and a personal hand at every step.
Independent since 2009
Sunny Day Publishing was founded in 2009 on a simple belief: that every good book deserves to be published well. More than fifteen years later, that belief still guides everything we do.
We’re a full-service independent press, which means we walk with our authors from first manuscript to finished book — editing, design, illustration, production, and the launch that follows. We publish across fiction, nonfiction, children’s books, health & home, and poetry, in print, e-book, and audio.
We’re proud to be independent. It lets us choose books on their merit, give each title the attention it deserves, and build real relationships with the authors we publish — not treat them as one of hundreds in a catalog.

What makes us different
The things our authors notice first — and remember.
Authors first
Every author works directly with our team. You’re a partner in your book, not a ticket in a queue.
Craft over volume
We publish selectively so that every title gets real editorial, design, and production attention.
Every genre welcome
From picture books to poetry to memoir, we bring the same care to whatever story needs telling.
What we do
A full-service publishing team behind every book.
Editorial ·
Every book is professionally edited. We bring in experienced editors for developmental editing, copyediting, and proofreading on each title.
Design ·
Original cover and interior design, art-directed to fit the book — not dropped into a template.
Illustration ·
Whether we match you with an illustrator or art-direct one you already have, we guide the artwork from first sketch to final spread.
Production ·
Print, e-book, and audiobook production, including formatting, ISBN and metadata, and distribution setup.
Marketing ·
Launch support, press materials, and social promotion to help each new title find its readers.
Guidance ·
Honest, personal advice through every decision — the kind that comes from doing this since 2009.
Who we are
Business partners and friends since 2012. Pam and Stacie have run Sunny Day side by side — supported by a trusted team of editors and illustrators.
Dr. Pam Connery
Pam oversees the business side of Sunny Day — operations, author agreements, and the day-to-day that keeps each project moving from first contact to finished book. A doctor of chiropractic practicing in Ohio since 1998, she brings that same care and attention to the business of publishing.
Stacie Gerrity
With more than 30 years of design experience, Stacie leads cover design and book layout, illustration direction, and marketing across every Sunny Day title. She especially loves guiding first-time authors from manuscript to finished book, making sure they love how it looks at every step.
Most of our design and layout is done in-house. For every book we bring in professional editors, and we work with illustrators — ours or the author’s — so each title has the right hands on it.
Have a story to tell?
We’re always reading. If you’ve written something you believe in, we’d love to hear about it.
