It is possible to distribute magazines, journals or periodicals if the content file is formatted correctly. However, we only support ISBNs at the moment, so you will not be able to add an ISSN.** **For ebooks,** the EPUB file should be formatted to pass the industry-standard EPUB validation test.  The layout of the magazine might make it necessary to create a fixed layout EPUB, but please note that not all of our store partners accept this format (under the [**Stores page,**](https://admin.publishdrive.com/imprint) in your imprint settings, you can find more information about which stores accept it). Also keep in mind that even if you submit a fixed layout EPUB, the pages cannot be scanned and the text cannot be embedded in image files, it has to be searchable. If the layout makes it possible, try to create a reflowable EPUB, there are typically much less complications with these types of files.   **For print-on-demand,** you can publish a magazine if the perfect-bound binding type is acceptable for your publication. The minimum page number is 24 pages.    **For both formats,** you will have to add the issue number to the Series information section in the metadata. - [Book Upload And Correction](https://help.publishdrive.com/book-upload-and-correction?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Uploading A Book](https://help.publishdrive.com/book-upload-and-correction?hsLang=en#uploading-a-book) - [Book Correction And Common Errors](https://help.publishdrive.com/book-upload-and-correction?hsLang=en#book-correction-and-common-errors) - [Ebook Conversion](https://help.publishdrive.com/book-upload-and-correction?hsLang=en#ebook-conversion) - [Content Guidelines](https://help.publishdrive.com/book-upload-and-correction?hsLang=en#content-guidelines) - [Stores And Distribution](https://help.publishdrive.com/stores-and-distribution?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Store Selection](https://help.publishdrive.com/stores-and-distribution?hsLang=en#store-selection) - [Publishing Status](https://help.publishdrive.com/stores-and-distribution?hsLang=en#publishing-status) - [Partner Stores And Special Terms](https://help.publishdrive.com/stores-and-distribution?hsLang=en#partner-stores-and-special-terms) - [Terms Of Distribution](https://help.publishdrive.com/stores-and-distribution?hsLang=en#terms-of-distribution) - [Payout Terms](https://help.publishdrive.com/stores-and-distribution?hsLang=en#payout-terms) - [Account, Subscription and Pricing](https://help.publishdrive.com/account-subscription-and-pricing?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Subscription Options](https://help.publishdrive.com/account-subscription-and-pricing?hsLang=en#subscription-options) - [Account Management](https://help.publishdrive.com/account-subscription-and-pricing?hsLang=en#account-management) - [About PublishDrive](https://help.publishdrive.com/account-subscription-and-pricing?hsLang=en#about-publishdrive) - [PublishDrive Distribution](https://help.publishdrive.com/account-subscription-and-pricing?hsLang=en#publishdrive-distribution) - [Royalty Payments And Sales Analytics](https://help.publishdrive.com/royalty-payments-and-sales-analytics?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Sales Analytics](https://help.publishdrive.com/royalty-payments-and-sales-analytics?hsLang=en#sales-analytics) - [Royalty Payments](https://help.publishdrive.com/royalty-payments-and-sales-analytics?hsLang=en#royalty-payments) - [Marketing And Promotion](https://help.publishdrive.com/marketing-and-promotion?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Promotion Tools On PublishDrive](https://help.publishdrive.com/marketing-and-promotion?hsLang=en#promotion-tools-on-publishdrive) - [Marketing Tips](https://help.publishdrive.com/marketing-and-promotion?hsLang=en#marketing-tips) - [Print-On-Demand And Audio Distribution](https://help.publishdrive.com/print-on-demand-and-audio-distribution?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Audiobook Distribution](https://help.publishdrive.com/print-on-demand-and-audio-distribution?hsLang=en#audiobook-distribution) - [Print-On-Demand Distribution](https://help.publishdrive.com/print-on-demand-and-audio-distribution?hsLang=en#print-on-demand-distribution) - [PublishDrive Abacus](https://help.publishdrive.com/publishdrive-abacus?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Team Royalties](https://help.publishdrive.com/publishdrive-abacus?hsLang=en#team-royalties) - [PublishDrive Abacus](https://help.publishdrive.com/publishdrive-abacus?hsLang=en#publishdrive-abacus) - [Publishing Assistant](https://help.publishdrive.com/publishing-assistant?hsLang=en) - [PublishDrive Essentials](https://help.publishdrive.com/publishdrive-essentials?hsLang=en#main-content) - [First Steps With PublishDrive](https://help.publishdrive.com/publishdrive-essentials?hsLang=en#first-steps-with-publishdrive) - [Exclusive Copyright Documents / Trademarks](https://help.publishdrive.com/exclusive-copyright-documents-trademarks?hsLang=en) - [General Information](https://help.publishdrive.com/general-information?hsLang=en) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://help.publishdrive.com/hs-fs/hubfs/publishdrive_logos_rgb-02.png?width=55&height=55&name=publishdrive_logos_rgb-02.png "Chill listening crop-3")](http://publishdrive.com?hsLang=en) PublishDrive Help Center Copyright © 2026, PublishDrive Inc.
