What is “metadata”? And why does it matter?
Metadata is information. Your book’s metadata labels the content, target market, and format of your book to make it easy to classify and shelf — whether digitally or in a store. It includes, among other elements:
- Title and subtitle
- Author name (and name of other contributors)
- Series information
- Price
- Book cover
- Blurb
- “About the author”
- Editorial reviews
- Categories (or BISAC Codes)
- Keywords
Metadata serves two equally important purposes: it makes your book visible to the right customers, and it encourages them to buy it. Its categories, for instance, help the store place the book and show it to the right readers. Meanwhile, the book cover and blurb encourage readers to purchase it.
How can Reedsy professionals help me with that?
Since metadata is crucial to any book’s success, some of the book marketers on Reedsy have specialized in blurb and metadata optimization. Specifically, they will help you:
- Find your ideal categories on Amazon and other retailers
- Select the right keywords to maximize your book’s visibility
- Write and refine your blurb
This kind of metadata optimization is critical ahead of a book launch, but can also be extremely effective in revitalizing a backlist. So if you have books out there that aren’t selling, consider giving them a second wind and have a professional optimize the writing metadata for you.
