Uploading my indie novel so people can add it to their libraries. > Likes and Comments

Hi there! I'm an indie author who will be self-publishing her debut novel in October 2025. However, I need my book listed so that my beta and alpha readers can leave reviews, and so that others can to add it to their libraries. I'm doing this all without a team so any help getting details like listing "Bloodwater" would be extremely helpful. I would also like to get my Author Profile squared away so people know this is my account, but since my book isn't listed, that makes it difficult to claim. It doesn't have an ISBN yet (I'll have it after I get my proof copy later this month) so I'm not sure how that'll work.

Anyways - any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

Thank you! I have everything except the ISBN. Is it a big issue if I haven't purchased the ISBN yet? I'm going to be listing it through IngramSpark in October and will be using their "free ISBN" option.

It does not matter if you have or not an ISBN, but in case you get one, we cannot change the field anymore. This is why as a rule we add the books only once they are publish. Please submit your request in October, or shortly before, once all the details are fixed. I will close this one.
