How Metadata Can Make or Break Your Writing Career: Writer's Digest Conference Session
Metadata is the data about your book that gives people the information they need to decide whether to purchase it or not. Online shoppers rely heavily on metadata to find new titles, and filling this out correctly and with the information most likely to appeal to your readers will be essential in making your book "discoverable" and driving sales.
In this eye-opening Writer's Digest Conference session, Publisher Relations Manager Rebecca Albani explores the basics of data and metadata, the key things authors should be monitoring in their own data stream, and how new innovations in Open Data will transform the publishing future.
