Providing the publishing community with the tools and services to go wide with their literary dreams.
PublishDrive delivers innovative solutions to the publishing industry that help authors and publishers to become more efficient, scale their businesses, and achieve global success. From large-scale solutions to distribution, through AI-powered optimization of your processes, to easy-to-use royalty splitting, we are bringing innovation to every stage of the publishing journey, giving you more time to focus on what you love - writing.
We strive to be transparent in every step of your journey to ensure you are able to make the right decisions for your business. When so many moving parts are in play, it is sometimes difficult to know what you are paying for. Our subscription-based pricing structure for Distribution, our easy-to- understand credits system for Publishing Assistant, our self-managed, per-title Abacus prices, our book sales calculator, and even our real-time sales analytics are all designed to give you control of your business with no hidden commissions or retained revenues.
We know that your end-game is to gain loyal readers and fans. And because of that, we know that we are only successful when you have gained that recognition. Unlike many businesses who only focus on their own targets, we focus on your targets - book sales. The journey from a book idea to 7-figure sales is a long and winding one, but we are committed to providing solutions at every step of that journey and being your partner in success.
Distribution
With over 400 stores and 240,000 libraries across over 100 countries, PublishDrive boasts the largest distribution network in the industry. You can distribute as many titles as you wish in ebook, audiobook, and print-on-demand formats. And best of all, we can also distribute to Amazon, Google, Barnes and Noble, Ingram, Kobo, and many more, meaning you can distribute to all the top stores, and 100s of local ones too, without the need to go direct to each of them. Just manage your catalog on PublishDrive and we automatically push all updates to every store you select.
The publishing industry is full of nuances that can be hard to fully understand and master to achieve success. With Publishing Assistant, we take the guesswork out of mastering the industry. With the ability to analyze your manuscripts, Publishing Assistant is able to provide AI-optimized blurbs, BISAC categories, keywords, and much more for greater discoverability of your titles. On top of that, it can generate optimized cover images in seconds to help your book look its best.
Calculating, splitting, and managing royalties among multiple co-authors or contributors can be time consuming and a headache that you don’t need. Abacus provides a cloud-based royalty splitting tool that gives you control over your process and provides full transparency for all your contributors. Add sales reports from all your stores and let Abacus do the rest.
We want you to be successful and we strive to provide the best tools on the market to help you. And we also know how important your time is. That is why we ensure that all our platforms seamlessly integrate to give you the easiest experience possible. But we also know that many authors and publishers are already very successful with other platforms that don’t allow you to distribute elsewhere, such as KDP Select. For this reason, all our platforms can also be used as standalone tools. Generate new metadata or covers in Publishing Assistant, download them, and use them wherever you want. Add your titles to Abacus and upload sales reports from any stores you go direct to, and Abacus will handle the royalty splitting calculations for you. Use our ebook or print converters and use the files for whatever you need.
