Patrick Day
President, Pyramid Publishers

I was the dean of instruction at a two-year college before taking early retirement to focus on writing. I self-published my first book through a vanity publisher that cost me far more than it should have, so I decided to do things differently. That’s how Pyramid Publishers was born.

I published nine more of my own books with Pyramid Publishers and started working with other authors, and that quickly became the most rewarding part of what I do. I have now published more than fifty books, never working on more than three books at a time, so I can keep the process personal.

In a world that’s often all about the bottom line, I’m a publisher because I truly love books and want to help others achieve their dream of becoming published authors. I’m not in this for building an empire or making large profits . You might think of it as my calling.

Lauren Redetzke
Managing Editor

I am an early-career editor with a passion for helping authors navigate the publishing process with confidence and clarity. As a writer myself, I understand how vulnerable it can feel to send a deeply personal, hard-worked manuscript out into the world. Because of that, I approach every project with care, respect, and a strong commitment to preserving the author’s unique voice and artistic vision.

At Pyramid Publishers, I work closely with authors to strengthen their manuscripts through thoughtful developmental feedback, careful line editing, proofreading, and a collaborative editorial process. I believe the best editing does not overpower a writer’s voice, but rather helps bring out the strongest and clearest version of what the author is trying to say.

For me, editing is more than correcting grammar or polishing sentences—it is about helping authors tell their stories in the most compelling and authentic way possible.
