Subject AssignmentFive (of 14) key rules Ingram uses in its
review of titles First BISAC – assign where the book is most likely to be in a bricks
and mortar store– Alternatively, where you want it to chart
Do not use parent and child terms on the same book Consistency across formats Children’s books beg for multiple codes: Topic, protagonists,
formati.e. chapter books
Avoid General/ Be as specific as the authorized list allows

![Page 20: BEA 2014 Stop Hiding your Books from Readers](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062614/5459a2c7b1af9fc0638b58ed/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Audience/Reading Levels
• Audience– Reading Level– Interest Level– Grade Level
• Complexity– Lexile– Fountas and Pennell
(GRL)– ATOS (Accelerated Reader)
![Page 22: BEA 2014 Stop Hiding your Books from Readers](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062614/5459a2c7b1af9fc0638b58ed/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Descriptive FieldsBook descriptions and author biographies are the most important places to make the case for your book. But they are also the biggest opportunities to affect how your book is found online.
• Think about web copy before jacket copy• Don’t write context-dependent copy• Write evergreen copy
![Page 23: BEA 2014 Stop Hiding your Books from Readers](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062614/5459a2c7b1af9fc0638b58ed/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Book Description
Before you write your description, you need to think about the language you plan to use:• What are the most important
words related to my book?
• What kinds of searches do I want my book to be found in?
• What words will readers use to find my book?
![Page 24: BEA 2014 Stop Hiding your Books from Readers](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062614/5459a2c7b1af9fc0638b58ed/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Keywords to Consider
Research your keywords and try to find the language that will reach the best possible audience for your book
• Full title & subtitle of your book
• Names of all the major contributors
• Basic words about the book– e.g. “novel”, “essay”,
“collection”, etc.
• Subject keywords• Genre keywords• Audience keywords
– Ages– “expert”, “beginner”, etc.
• Tone & emotion keywords– What’s the mood of your book?– How will your book make the
reader feel?
![Page 25: BEA 2014 Stop Hiding your Books from Readers](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062614/5459a2c7b1af9fc0638b58ed/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Description Pitfalls
• Time-sensitive information– “… is currently working on the sequel ….”– “ … is the author of seven novels … “– “… also available as an audio book ..”
• Too-short descriptions• Not starting with the most important
information
Avoid Including:• Comparative titles and authors• URLs and 3rd party links
![Page 26: BEA 2014 Stop Hiding your Books from Readers](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062614/5459a2c7b1af9fc0638b58ed/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Author Biography
Always Include• The author’s name• Basic keywords:
– e.g. “author”, “writer”, novelist”, etc.• The name of at least one book
Good to Include• Professional qualifications• Awards• Praise & Publications
Author Biographies are like resumes!
![Page 27: BEA 2014 Stop Hiding your Books from Readers](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062614/5459a2c7b1af9fc0638b58ed/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Strike the Right Balance
SEO and keyword research will help searchers find your book. But once they do, you have to provide good, readable descriptions that makes the sale.
• What your book is about• What a reader will take away from the experience of reading
your book• What makes your book is different and better than all the rest
