Ten years ago I couldn’t imagine being able to own something like an eReader. I was stilled impressed by laptop computers back then. And 10 years ago really isn’t a very long time. Now that the eReader Revolution is upon us, it is imperative to know what is needed in order to publish on Kindle.
Rick Joyce of Perseus Books has some valuable information on what is specifically needed while approaching the subject of Kindle publishing. See below for Rick’s wisdom.
Confirming Content Rights:
-It is critical to have the rights of whatever you’re uploading for sale on Kindle.
-You must specify territories, worldwide or specific ones, that you have rights in.
-Amazon requires this, in case they are ever challenged on work they are selling.
Critical Book Metadata – Required by Kindle
-Title
-Language: Kindle defaults to English unless specified otherwise.
-Categories: This helps readers find your content. It can include up to 5 categories.
-Authors: At least one author is needed. Include editors, illustrators, and translators as well.
Essential for Success: Book Metadata
-Product Image: The image needs to be in TIFF or JPEG format and at least 500 pixels on the longest side. Rick recommends 1200 pixels on the longest side. If you do not add an image, your publication will look incomplete on Kindle.
-Description: The description should tell the readers about your content.
-Search Keywords: Choose 5-7 descriptive keywords to help readers find your content. Separate then with commas.
Optional Metadata
-ISBN: If your product has an International Standard Book Number, enter it.
-Publisher: Include the individual or company that published the product.
-Edition Number: Unless the product had already been published, your number will be 1.
-Series Title: If your product is a part of a series, list the title.
-Volume Number: Works in a series are usually assigned volume numbers.
