Highly recommend Palmetto Publishing

Palmetto Publishing and especially Anthony Ferrese, the team leader, and project manager, for my audiobook worked with me over a period of time to produce a project, which I feel very good about. It was not an easy project because it had words from a different language. They always were very professional and I highly recommend them for your projects.

Fast and Professional

Palmetto provided fast, professional service for work on my memoir. Nothing too much trouble. Excellent handling and incorporation of photos. Just two weeks from placing order to receipt of books from the printer. First rate project management and customer service from beginning to end. Very pleased with final product. Palmetto is five star plus!

The Boy Who Remains becomes a reality

My experience with Palmetto Publishing was amazing. They helped me with alot more than I ever thought they could. Everything from distribution, editing which was top notch, and receiving the book into my hand which was crazy. Nick the consultant did amazing and my project Madison was great as well.

Great staff

Great staff, fluid process just a little on the pricey side is my only negative. More marketing options would also be nice.

Lucky to have landed with Palmetto

I've been very pleased with the intelligence, good cheer, and encouraging words from Tony Ferrese and Brenna Gardner as they have led me through perfecting the manuscript and lining up materials for promotion. Getting this book done has been a long hard slog, and I was dismayed to find a lack of interest at university presses -- Routledge, Harvard, California -- that have published earlier books. But I'm now feeling lucky to have landed with Palmetto and have hopes that the marketing may exceed what I've experienced heretofore. My book is a straight-on scholarly study of the dispossession of the Apaches, read through the lens that Melville provides in his prophetic outcries against imperialism aggression against native peoples. It makes no direct mention of the current White House regime, but every reader can see the attack I'm making on the revival of America's anti-democratic tradition in contemporary politics. So I've taken pride in working with an outfit that takes pride in an ancestry that survived pressure from the Apartheid regime in South Africa. I take additional pride in your choosing Charleston as headquarters, where I have deep family roots. This journey has not of course reached its conclusion. But have confidence that further good things are to come.

Above and Beyond

Excellence from gathering information on the book. To the classiness.of the project managers. To the incredible job the editors do in getting your book ready and distributed. Without a doubt I will use Palmetto every time.

My Account Manager

My Account manager, Kaitlyn, was a joy to work with. She was professional, kind, and forthcoming with answers to all my questions.
I look forward to working with Kaitlyn and the entire Palmetto team on my next two books, to be published in 2027.

Every part of my experience with…

Every part of my experience with Palmetto Publishing was outstanding. Every aspect of the publishing process was handled professionally and efficiently. If I am fortunate enough to have another book to publish, I would choose Palmetto again.

I experienced a wonderful welcome when…

I experienced a wonderful welcome when I stopped in person to meet the staff of Palmetto Publishing last December. I signed my contract that day and have never regretted that decision. I was led through each phase of getting my first children’s book published with expert advice and attention to detail. Every email was answered promptly and the process moved along quickly. I highly recommend Palmetto Publishing. .

Staff and Illustration review

The staff was wonderful to work with. Thank you, Colby and Ryan, and all others at Palmetto They always responded in a timely manner and was willing to answer any of my questions or concerns. However, choosing illustrations was a little challenging, but it all worked out and the end result was very impressive. My overall experience with Palmetto was exciting as this is my first book. Thus far I am pleased with their services, and I look forward to working with them in the very near future with my second book endeavor.

Go No Where Else.

The most personable, professional people you will ever work with. Sometimes, the process takes time. The people I dealt with know that and gently guide but not push and the efforts culminates in to a book. I am so very pleased. This is my second go round with them and already have plans for 2 more books in the works. Will definitely stay with Palmetto.
