Schwartz Publishing is an Australian publishing house based in Melbourne, Australia, established by property developer Morry Schwartz. Since the late-1990s many of its publications appeared under the Black Inc imprint.[1]
History
In the 1980s Schwartz Publishing mainly published American self-help books. Its all-time bestseller was Life's Little Instruction Book by H. Jackson Brown, Jr. with 300,000 copies sold.[1] In the 1990s Schwartz Publishing set up the Black Inc imprint, publishing since 2001 the Quarterly Essay and since 2005 The Monthly.[1][2]
In 2014, Black Inc began publishing The Saturday Paper. The weekly publication is focussed upon long-form journalism and sets out its aims to "Challenge orthodoxy...question authority and provoke debate."[3] The newspaper was launched on 1 March 2014 in Sydney, Melbourne, and Canberra. The publication of The Saturday Paper came at a time when newspapers were experiencing major write-downs.[4]
