The Most Profitable Option for Aggregated Ebook Distribution is Here!

Previously, there were two main options available for independent ebook distribution:

  • Distributing directly to retailers one-by-one in order to earn the highest royalty rate possible.
  • Using an aggregator to distribute to many stores through one platform, in exchange for a ~10% commission on royalties.

While both of these options have pros and cons, neither is really ideal.

PublishDrive is thrilled to introduce a better option: subscription-based global ebook distribution -- a first for the industry.

Combining the best of both worlds, subscription pricing give you full store royalty rates and the ease of wide distribution - all under one roof - for a flat monthly fee.

You can finally say goodbye to giving up your royalties!

PublishDrive offers four flexible plans that are great for authors and publishers at every level, and you don’t have to give up any of your royalties. Instead, you’ll pay a flat monthly fee, and you can change plans anytime.

Save Time
