My experience was awesome. Palmetto's publishing team went through the process step by step with me. The graphics and editing phases were accomplished smoothly and with superb results. I plan on hiring Palmetto Publishing for my next book. Sincerely, Michael Infranco
Erin Miller was very helpful in getting my book published. She answered all of my questions, and was there at every step of the journey. Palmetto Publishing is a great company to help you on your path to publishing your book.
Palmetto staff is terrific. They are professional and very communicative. Ryan and Lilly were wonderful. They’re clear and thorough, they work at a great pace, and they’re the real deal. ❤️
Overall the experience with Palmetto was great. Could improve on some communication but they were professional and easy to work with at this point in the process.
Working with Palmetto has made my first book experience a wonderful one. I was worried about many things but they helped guide me through the process. They were never "pushy" but worked at my pace. Every time I needed assistance they were always a phone call or email away and responded in a very timely manner!
As an independent publisher, I understand that staff changes happen. My concern wasn't that my original representative, Natalie Ireland, was reassigned. It was how the transition was handled. Natalie worked with me on my first two books and was familiar with my project, which was a three-book Christmas trilogy scheduled for release together. Midway through the production of the third book, I received an email informing me that I would be working with a new representative. There was no discussion, no opportunity to ask questions, and, more importantly, no apparent transition plan. Unfortunately, it became clear that critical information had not been communicated between the two representatives, including the importance of the trilogy release schedule. Because of that, the third book experienced avoidable delays, revisions took longer than expected, and the project ultimately missed the timeline that had been carefully planned from the beginning. I believe Palmetto has talented people, and I appreciate the work that ultimately went into producing the books. However, communication and continuity are essential, especially for authors managing multiple titles with coordinated release dates. A smoother handoff between project managers would have made a tremendous difference in my experience. My hope is that Palmetto will strengthen its internal transition process so future authors don't experience the same frustration. Authors invest not only financially but emotionally in their books, and clear communication is just as important as the publishing process itself.
Distribution is questionable. I have no direct visibility, royalties are much lower than I had been promised, if they even show up. I cannot manage my listing on Amazon or B&N, cant see what has actually sold or make changes. It all has to go thru them and I am blind. Big mistake.
Good Morning, We are sorry to hear that we didn't meet your expectations in terms of distribution. We understand how important transparency and control are when it comes to your book's distribution and sales reporting. We are happy to make any changes to your listing that you would like. I gave you a call to discuss our royalty process. and sales reporting. You can reach me via email [email protected] or +1 (843) 648-9691. Thank you!
Working with the Palmetto project manager was a great experience. My book turned out exactly how I envisioned. Natalie and Cassie made the process easy and catered to even some of my frustrations. I'm now working with Palmetto on my next book and marketing my first book. I will always have Palmetto as my publishing company.
Palmetto produced a beautifull book. All of the staff have been professional, responsive, helpful and kind. They all understand writers. I've recommended Palmetto to colleagues and friends.
Great publishing company! Attentive, caring people. Positive feedback. Informed guidance. Seamless publication and marketing process. Reasonable prices. Quality Product.
As a children’s author going for the first time with a publishing company, I had the best experience. Everyone was helpful, knowledgeable and got my project done in a timely manner. I am truly thankful for Palmetto Publishing for an outstanding job. The whole process was smooth. Thank you again.
Everything about Palmetto was excellent. I did not give 5 stars because as yet I have not seen the final product. Once I see the actual book I will likely increase the level. Each person I dealt with was considerate, professional, competent and concerning for my needs.
The entire team was very professional, responsive and productive. I would highly recommend them.
Palmetto’s representatives reached out with alacrity and enthusiasm. When the question I had wasn’t in their particular bailiwick, they copied colleagues in on the emails. I knew that many people were laboring on my behalf. However, sometimes I felt more regular updates would be nice.
Annaliese and Olivia were excellent. They helped every step of the way. They were quick and efficient.
As a first-time author, writing my memoir, My Career in the Airline Industry as a Customer Service Agent, was both exciting and challenging. I am extremely grateful that I chose Palmetto Publishing Company to publish my book. I had the wonderful privilege of working with two outstanding professionals, Natalie Ireland, my Project Manager, and Abigail Franken, my Marketing Manager, Their dedication, professionalism, and encouragement made this journey a memorable experience. Natalie Ireland deserves special recognition for her exceptional support throughout the publishing process. She was simply amazing. She consistently returned my phone calls, emails, and text messages promptly, answered my questions with patience, and guided me through every step of bringing my memoir to life. Her commitment to excellence made me feel confident and supported from beginning to end. If there were an award for outstanding project management, Natalie would certainly deserve it. Abigail Franken did an excellent job managing the marketing side of my book. She provided me with a comprehensive marketing brochure and valuable information to help me introduce my memoir to readers. Her professionalism and expertise gave me confidence as I began promoting my book. I also want to express my sincere appreciation to the entire Palmetto Publishing team. Every person who contributed to my book played an important role in helping me achieve a lifelong dream of becoming a published author. I am truly pleased with the final result and would gladly recommend Palmetto Publishing Company to anyone who is considering publishing a book, Thank you for helping turn my dream into a reality.

When my project first began, I was very disappointed until Ryan was assigned as my Project Manager. He is simply amazing. He did so much to help me finalize the book. He always returned calls, emails, or even texts. This process, once he was on board, went extremely well. He is a professional in every sense of the word.
Chloe Teunis, excellent communication and follow up, detail understanding of the process and patience .
