The BookSmarts Podcast, with Joshua Tallent

Nov 28 2022 • 24 mins

In this final episode of 2022, we are joined by David Marlin, President of MetaComet Systems. David has been working in the publishing industry for the last 24 years, and is an expert in royalty automation. We discuss his background and how he got into publishing, the recent move to paying author royalties through electronic payment services, and more.

David shared how MetaComet has recently become SOC 2 Type 2 certified, and we discussed the process they had to go through to get that level of security certification. We also talked about how some publishers are moving toward outsourcing their royalty management and how MetaComet is responding to that change.
