March 18th: The Secrets of Unlocking Categories, Keywords, Descriptions, ISBNs, and More to Sell Your Books with David Kudler

In this fascinating exploration of a seemingly eye-glazing topic, author, publisher, and long-time BAIPA member David Kudler will delve into all of the ways that the data connected to our books helps our ideal readers to find them.

This hands-on workshop will build on the introduction to Metadata by Shelley Adina on March 4, and will go deeper into:

• Categories • Keywords • Title/subtitle • Pen name/collaborators • Descriptions • ISBNs • Covers (!) • Pricing
• and much more
