Goodreads Librarians Group discussion

Hello, I wanted to ask if it's possible to edit the "similar authors" section on my author page. My work is general market, upmarket historical fiction and most of the authors listed in the "similar authors" section on my page write inspirational historical fiction, which my book is not.

I want to make sure general market historical fiction readers find my book and that those who read inspirational hist fic aren't disappointed if they pick mine up thinking it is inspirational.

My book is tagged on Amazon as Historical World War II & Holocaust Fiction, World War II Historical Fiction, Coming of Age Fiction (Books). Authors listed on Amazon whose readers are more similar presents a more accurate list. They include Tatiana DeRosnay, Sharon Kurtzman, Kelly Rimmer, Kristin Hannah are some that are listed there as comps.

Enormously grateful for your help in how to remedy this. Thank you so much!

I don't see anything like that on your page, but it isn't something librarians could do anything about.

Hi Scott. Thanks for responding. The link for "similar authors" appears next to my book, In the Light of the Sun, on my author profile.

Ah, the link, yes. Well, if you click it it shows what readers of your books also read. We cannot control what people read.

I see. Didn't realize the list was created based on what readers have also read. Got it. Thanks for your help!
