      Because a regular submitter might know.

      and i mean directories 'generally', as the general requirements, and don't want to check each and everyone for this answer, when a regular submitter might know the answer.

    The directories really do vary, however, to keep your 'bases covered', I'd recommend:

    * Title
    * Description
    * KW tags for the ebook itself
    * Download URL (some you upload directly to)
    * Reseller Info (licensing rights)
    * Resell package URL (or upload it to them)
    * Meta title, description, and keywords (this can be different than the above)
    * Detailed info about the book: author, editor, contributor, illustrator, table of contents, pages, etc.)
    * Also, many require author info. In other words, your small biography, website, email, etc

    Hope that helps, and good luck!

    The directories do vary, but the above requirements should be a fairly accurate representation. I would also suggest attached a file of your e cover, as it makes your ebook appear more "professional."
