Schwartz Publishing is an Australian publishing house based in Melbourne established by Morry Schwartz in the 1980s. Since the late-1990s many of its publications appeared under the Black Inc imprint.

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.
In the 1990s Schwartz Publishing set up the Black Inc imprint, publishing since 2001 the Quarterly Essay and since 2005 The Monthly.
In 2014, Schwartz Media began publishing The Saturday Paper, with the aim to "challenge orthodoxy...question authority and provoke debate." 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.
In June 2018, Erik Jensen, formerly editor of The Saturday Paper'', became editor-in-chief of Schwartz Media.
