South Carolina-based full-service self-publishing company Palmetto Publishing has been named among Inc. 5000’s 2024 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. According to Inc., the “Inc. 5000 class of 2024 represents companies that have driven rapid revenue growth while navigating inflationary pressure, the rising costs of capital, and seemingly intractable hiring challenges.”
Book publishing is a family tradition for Richard and Jack Joseph, the owners of Palmetto Publishing. With over three generations of combined experience in their lineage, you could say a passion for books is in their DNA. After generations in book retail and traditional publishing, they recognized the exciting opportunity in self-publishing—a movement that empowers authors by shifting the control from the publisher to the writers themselves, ensuring that every author, organization, or artist has the opportunity to bring their work to life.
“Being named to the Inc. 5000 list is a significant achievement that underscores the growth and success of Palmetto Publishing. What began as a small, two-person venture between my father, Richard Joseph, and me has evolved into a dynamic team that partners with approximately 3,000 authors annually. This recognition reflects our team’s collective efforts and unwavering commitment to providing the best possible publishing experience. Most importantly, it would not have been possible without the creativity, trust, and collaboration of our authors. We are excited to continue our journey, broadening our reach and influence in the publishing industry." - Jack Joseph, CEO
