You do not. At Palmetto, we’re here to help you with all the ins and outs of publishing. We’ll guide you through the process and consult with you to ensure you understand all aspects, effectively doing the job that a literary agent would do.

Authors publish with us for many reasons. For some, it's a life goal, while others are inspired to share their personal story or expertise with the world, among other motivators. We actively discourage authors from publishing with us if their primary goal is to make a profit. Writing and publishing a book is a significant achievement and should come from a place of passion rather than a desire to make a profit.

We take 0% of the proceeds from your published book. All your work is yours alone, so you keep 100% of the profit.

Yes, you will. Contact a tax lawyer or reach out to the IRS to ensure you’re paying the correct amount of taxes prior to tax filing season.

We have a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If for any reason you are unsatisfied with the end results, we’ll work with you to ensure we hit the mark. No matter what, we want you to be happy with a finished product that is ready for the world!
