Publish Ebook, Print & Audio Under One Roof!

By Sarah Yoo

As pioneers in self-publishing, we’ve done it again. We’ve expanded PublishDrive’s capacity and added print books plus audiobooks to the platform. Indies can cater to readers’ needs and reach new audiences!

Achieving this makes us the only publishing platform out there doing this. Authors and publishers can easily manage ebook, print, and audio under one roof. So for our indies, that is simple and effective digital publishing. Get customer support and tools in distribution, marketing, sales reporting, and more for all formats you’d like.

Why Print & Audio Books?

These are lucrative formats to get into. Print-on-demand services are estimated to be $150 billion dollars by 2022 (Gen Z loves print!). Audio is the fastest-growing format in online publishing.

If you’re looking for ways to increase your earnings, these are it. You not only give your existing readers more options to choose from, but you attract new readers too! Don’t miss out on maximizing your business potential.

If you're simply learning how to publish your own book, start off on the right track by leveraging all formats. Self-publish your book in paperback or leverage audiobook distribution.

In true PublishDrive fashion, we’ve made distributing audiobooks and print books easy and worthwhile -- just how it is with our ebook publishing. We’ll go over the process in a bit. But first, the benefits.
