      Distributing to Apple Audiobooks With PublishDrive

       

      Apple Books is a global giant in digital book sales. Its Audiobook Store is a popular go-to for audio lovers of all ages. With the books app pre-installed on every Apple device, that’s a pool of literally millions of Apple users to reach with your content.

      Apple works with a limited number of trusted partners, even fewer for audio distribution. PublishDrive is an approved aggregator that can easily distribute your audiobook to Apple in no time. Here’s what to know below.

      How to enable Apple Audiobooks on PublishDrive

      When publishing a new audiobook

      Foremost, check our audiobook requirements to ensure a smooth upload process. We take care of the rest of the formatting for you.

      When you’re ready, sign in to your PublishDrive account and click “UPLOAD YOUR BOOK”.

      Follow the instructions to set up your audiobook files. At the last step of the upload process, make sure to enable Apple Audiobooks distribution.

      Hit “Publish” to submit your audiobook for review. After being approved, we send out your audiobook to Apple right away.

      When enabling Apple Audiobooks for an existing audiobook

      If you’re already distributing your audiobook to other stores with PublishDrive, we require no additional action from you. We send your audiobook(s) to Apple automatically.

       

      If you do not wish to distribute to Apple Audiobooks, switch off the channel under ‘Books’ from your PublishDrive account or Imprint settings.
