One of the first things I learned upon getting a job in publishing was that (and I quote) ‘Metadata is King’. Now, I didn’t have a clue even what metadata was, but obviously whatever it was, it was important. But why? Below, I’m going to explain a bit more about metadata and why it matters to us as the publisher, and also to you as a reader.

Hello. Apologies for the tangent away from normal posts but for once, I'm posting about work. My debut blog has just gone up over at the UK Tor website. It's a beginner's guide to metadata and why it's important. If you've any interest in publishing, this is the sort of thing that might interest you. If you don't, it probably won't.
