Wondering what PublishDrive can do for your publishing workflow, royalties, and reach?
In this live walkthrough + Q&A, we demo the PublishDrive distribution dashboard, show how to upload and publish an ebook, explore global store “channels” (Amazon, libraries, subscription services, and more), and break down how sales analytics and payouts work. We also cover AI-powered metadata (Publishing Assistant), promo opportunities, and common setup questions authors ask before and after launch.
What you’ll learn
• How PublishDrive distribution works (upload, metadata, channel selection, publish)
• Where your book can go: Amazon marketplaces worldwide, library networks, subscription services, and international retailers
• Built-in promo options: sales events/featuring opportunities, price promos, review copies, and more
• Sales Analytics: tracking performance by store/title/series and understanding estimated earnings vs. monthly reports
• Royalties: flat subscription pricing (no royalty cut) and how payouts align with retailer schedules
• Optional royalty splitting for collaborators (teams, percentages, automated payouts)
• Key Q&A topics: ISBNs, copyright/proof of rights, EPUB conversion checks, support response times, IngramSpark transitions, Amazon linking, audiobook distribution, and library requirements
