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, 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."
