Jessica August | 2 comments Hello! I am a new author on GoodReads with a book coming out in a few weeks. I would like to set up a GoodReads giveaway and have been filling out the online forms. My book is posted to GoodReads and is linked to my author page, but when I use the book's ASIN so that the 'Giveaway' page can locate my book, I get a message that my book can't be found. I have copied and pasted the ASIN number from the book's Amazon page and tried again using the ASIN from the book's page on GoodReads, but no luck with either. I am not sure how to proceed...would you be able to guide or assist me?

I am so happy to be a part of this community on the author side! Thank you for any help you can lend me.

Hi Jessica
Librarians are volunteers - giveaways are nothing to do with us. Saying that I've noticed a lot of the books that authors are having trouble setting up for a giveaway haven't been published yet. Could be a coincidence though.

I've removed a subtitle that doesn't appear on the cover of your book in line with Goodreads policy but you will need to contact Support.

Be aware that response times can be a little slow at this time of year, due to the Goodreads Choice Awards/Thanksgiving, etc.
