So far I have had top notch Customer Service & excellent marketing feedback. Have thoroughly enjoyed working with Natalie Ireland & Lily Flowers who are both very professional and easy to work with. Truly appreciative of time and attention... especially their timely follow through.
I would like to apologize for the lower review I previously left for Palmetto Publishing.
At the time, I was going through an extremely difficult period in my personal life. My wife’s health had become very fragile, I was dealing with major changes at work, and the stress of relocating and managing my family’s responsibilities affected my judgment and emotions. While my frustrations were real, I realize that my review did not fully reflect the circumstances surrounding my experience.
After taking time to reflect, I recognize that many of the challenges I faced were personal and beyond the control of Palmetto Publishing. I appreciate the professionalism of the team and the effort they invested in helping authors bring their work to life.
I sincerely apologize for any unfair impression my review may have created. My intention was never to damage the reputation of the people who worked with me, but rather to express my frustration during a very difficult chapter of my life.
Thank you for your understanding, and I wish Palmetto Publishing continued success helping first time authors like me, five stars is just not enough thank you!
The staff that collaborated on publishing my book with me were always professional, kind, and helpful. If I hadn't heard any updates on the process of the book, I was able to email for an update. I would then be provided with that update in a timely manner. Overall, I enjoyed the process and working with Palmetto Publishing. I found it to be easy and stress free.
Overall, the process was great to get started. This issue was with editor; they couldn't make a deadline to save their life. Work returned was sloppy in some cases, always late, and I was the one to constantly have to manage my 'project manager'. For example, it's been over 2 weeks since my book was published and the e-book version still isn't ready and available to readers.
Overall, writing this book was a great life experience, I just wish this was a more competent company.

I had a great experience working with Palmetto Publishing. They understood my vision and helped me to bring it to light. The staff was very friendly and made sure that they answered and all questions that I had for them, even if I thought they were silly. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a publishing company.
All of my experiences with this organization have been outstanding! Anna Lynch, in particular, has been consistently helpful, responsive, and supportive throughout the entire process. She has been a pleasure to work with! All in all, I would rate this company five out of five stars. Thank you.
Amazing people who are definitely dedicated to their work and yours.
No issues, consistent communication,updates,emails and text.
Palmetto Publishing is a company that you can trust.
And finally, Ashley, Natalie, and Maddie will be there for you from inception to completion of your book.

I was a novice and learned so much along way. Being a first time author and knowing nothing about publishing. Palmetto was a tremendous help.
Palmetto has been incredible. They are efficient, supportive and accountable. They have truly understood my needs and have accommodated me every step of the way. Could not be more pleased with this team of incredible people!
Natalie Brock.was personal and attentive. Communication was quick and prompt. I could tell she truly understood my view and took time for the details.

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.
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.
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.
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.

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
Very helpful, professional and supportive. We’re very pleased with how our book turned out.
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.

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.
