PublishDrive is a trusted partner in the indie publishing community, building digital tools and solutions for global ebook, print-on-demand, and audiobook distribution
Hello, Product Hunters!
PD Abacus has been built by the PublishDrive team: a bunch of book nerds, data scientists, economists, and developers who are helping indie authors streamline their co-author financial processes. Why did we develop this tool? The indie publishing community frequently leverages collaboration to create series together, write in the same universes, and publish multi-author anthologies. But they lack an efficient way of calculating royalties and transparently sharing data with co-authors. PD Abacus was designed exactly for these indie authors and publishers.
PD Abacus has the following features, and we are already working on some cool things to add in the next coming weeks:
1. Import your books and sales data using Amazon KDP sales reports
2. Manage co-authors’ royalties and contract expiration dates easily
3. Calculate co-author royalties instantly
4. Share royalty reports in a transparent, efficient way
5. Keep track of overall financials for collaborative publishing projects
PD Abacus will be able to handle financials for all book formats, whether it is in print, audiobook or ebook, and you can add as many income and cost items as you want. This means you can finally manage all co-author financials in one place. You’ll save time, eliminate the monthly headache of manually calculating royalties, and improve your team relations with timely, transparent royalty reports.
Many of PD Abacus’ features were developed based on input from LMBPN® Publishing, who are true pioneers of the self-publishing community. Until August 12, 2019, the full version of Abacus will be available for FREE during its beta period - and we are looking for feedback!
Please take a look and let me know what you think. We work hard with the PublishDrive team to ensure the publishing process is as streamlined and transparent as possible for independent authors.

Well, Amazon allowed me to self-publish quickly. PublishDrive has me jumping through hoops to prove I own the rights to an ebook & softcover book that me, myself, & I wrote.
There are no rights to secure. I wrote the book. Maybe they'll assist since I upgraded to email support. Mixed feelings about the product.
