I'm happy with the professionalism Chloe brought through the development of the book.
However; I'm still trying to get someone to help me market the book to different distributors.

The Palmetto Publishing team is full of dedicated, enthusiastic, intelligent professionals who really care about their authors. They walked me through each step and all of their available packages with patience and care. All of my questions were answered thoroughly and in a timely manner. I look forward to publishing more books with them in the future.
Palmetto Publishing was super helpful and thorough throughout my entire process, from beginning questions about topics all the way up to marketing and beyond. As a first time author they made my experience feel supported, organized, and successful. I highly appreciate their involvement and insight with my book.
I have to say I loved working with this publishing company. They are honest, open and no hidden fees! They walk you through every step and their communication is amazing. I felt like I had complete control over my book creation. They listened to what I i wanted and did it.

I have published a few books before, but I am totally impressed with this company. Everyone I have talked to has been so professional and yet they have a caring personality and very down to earth. I am very pleased with every step of the way. I will definitely trust them with my next book. Jan Love Helgeson.
My experience was awesome. Palmetto guided my through my whole experience. Always responded to my emails and helped my publish my book on time. Kaitlyn was very active in assisting me.
This is the future of publishing. The days of disparaging it as “vanity press” should be over. Why up with the bureacracy and politics and delays of the big publishing conglomerates? Unless you are already a bestselling author, distribution and marketing and marketing through a “major publisher” costs you more than a POD publisher for the same result. You are responsible for editing and fact checking and assume the cost of it with a Murdock group the same as using Palmetto.
The production staff was as good or better than any I have ever worked with! I have published 12 Medical Books, 4 Aviation Books, and as of now 5 religious books and all around the staff at Palmetto Publications were fantastic!
As someone with poor computer skills who never wrote a book or even a short story this experience was made easier by the professionals at Palmetto Publishing. I had been scammed previously before contacting Palmetto so my trust factor was low. Reeves explained everything and answered all my questions as did the others involved in the process. The communications were secure. Everyone involved got back to me right away even answering emails on a Snday. The book was completed as requested and looks professionally done.
Kaitlyn and Sophia were very professional. The whole experience is just thrilling. I will be writing other books in the future, and I can honestly say Palmetto Publishing is my publishing home! Now, let's see if it sells!

Publishing my book with Palmetto was a great experience. I wrote a memoir that took a little over 6 years. I talked with 6 other publishers before deciding to go with Palmetto. I recommend them highly to other writers.

Responsive. Friendly. Everyone I have spoken with and worked with seems to genuinely want to help. Palmetto handles alot of the leg work when it comes to advertisement, narrators and posting to websites. Palmetto is an amazing company to work with and the staff is extremely helpful and friendly.

From the first time I contacted Palmetto to the final publication of my book, Palmetto provided timely guidance and professional assistance. This being my first publishing experience, there was never any doubt the key players, Julia McKenna and Reeves Schrimpt, were extremely knowledgable and they always treated me with respect. Thank you Palmetto for a very positive experience. I would work with you again without hesitation.

I had very different expectations of working with a publisher, after completing all of the hard work. I was provided an option of packets keep in mind I am on a budget as well certainly not wanting to take the most expensive packet with no marketing packet just did not seem practical. I wouldn't say this was the worst experience at all I will say just to shop around and understand what the publisher will do and what they will not do, be clear on your package expenses.

I really enjoyed the professionalism and the attention to detail. I worked with nice people who cared and knew what they were doing.
