Tip #1: Pick up the right subject.

You need to specify the subject in your title's ONIX feed. You should also keep your subject as clear and transparent as possible. If a book is fiction, thriller, detective or drams, then you should categorize it under this exact subject.

Tip #2: Indicate all the basic points that newspapers want.

The book's title, subtitle, author, real price, format, and publisher name are all significant fields to include in your metadata, as these details are involved in the papers. So, you should make sure these fields are stated accurately. If there are any changes, they need to be reflected on the paper straight away.
