As a first time author
As a first time author, l scrutinized my publishing options to insure l had professional and experienced people, and with Palmetto my expectations were achieved. Thanks to all the wonderful Palmetto Publishing family for holding my hands to make my dream come true.

Due to my obsessive nature, the process was long but my project manager, Natalie Brock, was very informative, encouraging and timely meeting deadlines. She had some great ideas along the way too that added to the final product, especially the cover. Wonderful people dedicated to making a professional product.
I would definitely use Palmetto again if I ever wanted to have another book published.
Three Books, Exceptional Support, and a Great Experience
I had an excellent experience working with Palmetto Publishing on my three-book project: a memoir, a workbook, and a leader's guide.
Julia McKenna was outstanding throughout the publishing process. She was responsive, professional, encouraging, and incredibly helpful in guiding me through each step. Publishing three books at the same time could have felt overwhelming, but Julia made the process clear and manageable from beginning to end.
Colby was equally helpful as I worked through printing options and inventory planning. He was patient with my many questions, took the time to explain the numbers, and helped me find solutions that fit both my ministry goals and budget. I never felt rushed or pressured, and I always felt that he genuinely wanted to help me make wise decisions.
Both Julia and Colby were a pleasure to work with. Their professionalism, responsiveness, and customer service made a significant difference in this journey. I am grateful for their help and would gladly recommend Palmetto Publishing to other authors.

As a first-time author
As a first-time author, I can't say enough about the Palmetto team. Working with Sophia Pike and Olivia McCarron as our main contacts has been a wonderful experience. Olivia got us off to a great start. And Sophia has been there for us every step of the way. She's knowledgeable, responsive, engaging and patient with all of my novice questions

I paid you money and never used your services, and now I cannot get my money back. I think your claims about being ethical are false. My name is Douglas Hawkins, and my phone number is 1-619-392-2575. You won't even pick up the phone, and if I were in Florida, you would be facing a lawsuit.

This is my second book being published by Palmetto. Once again, the experience was smooth and enjoyable. Chloe Teunis was exceptional. I highly recommend Palmetto and Chloe to make your publishing experience a very good one.
Personnel were super nice, but timelines were never met. Had to do most of the work myself. Caught many errors they didn’t catch. They didn’t give much feedback during editing process. For this type of money way over priced. Wverytime I emailed took days to get back with me.

I am so glad that I found Palmetto publishing! From start to finish the process was smooth and the communication via phone and email remained consistent throughout the book process. Each step was communicated effectively and I remained excited through the book formation. I strongly recommend Palmetto for self publishing!
The experience was everything I could ask for. Cassie was great. Natalie spent a lot of time working with me and the designer did a fabulous job. I am very excited about the results.
Professionalism. Knowledge. Helpful each step of the way in the process. Always there to answer questions. A blessing to work with. Plan to be back. Cassie, Kaitlyn, and staff were great!
I had the best experience with everyone at palmetto. Professional. Prompt responses. Editing was spot on. The cover for my book BURSALA’S RHAPSODY is eye catching. I do not have one negative thing to say about Palmetto. I used you for my first (Christmas Stars of Zanzibar) and second book (BURSALA’S RHAPSODY)and I will use you for my third, which will end my trilogy. Thank you! Best team EVER!!!! JUDY-HOFMANN aka Judy Cee Bond
Happy all around!
Natalie Brock is a great project manger: attentive, responsive, available and competent.
The lay-out team was very good as well, albeit some errors which they had to redome.
The editors left too many errors I thought which had to be corrected more than once, and I felt some mistakes should have been caught before final reads.
Superb support, patience, and guidance for a novice. Willing to go above and beyond! A true Blessing! Natalie and Danyel are both GEMS! Everyone was wonderful!
