Ok, I thought I created another post about this, but damned if I can find it. LOL. Oh, well.

If you're an author and have come across your book's Goodreads page, and then noticed a problem, post it here and either myself or one of the other members that have "librarian" status can make the necessary changes.

Incorrect descriptions, wrong links to author webpages, combining editions, etc.

Now, with that being said, Raphyel, after I combined your editions into the same listing, I noticed that your book doesn't have a description, or link to your author page, etc.

Say the word and I'll copy something into there for you. Feel free to post the description here. That's if you want me to add it, that is. Check it out:

Raphyel Jordan (raphyelmjordan) | 32 comments Wow, am I late to the party! :P Thanks for looking out, Jeff. Another writing buddy of mine noticed my profile as well. I don't even have an author profile yet! Geez, I'm such a noob.. . even though I've been here for how long? >.>

Anyways, If I run into anymor trouble, I'll let ya know. Thx!

Eric Quinn (eqknowles) I created a Kobo edition of Ring of Destiny, but it is not pairing up with my other editions. Does that take some time to happen behind the scenes, or do i need to have it done by some awesome librarian?

I did it because I understand that I need a Kobo edition to get the Goodreads reviews to show up on Kobo.

I combined the editions for you. You can do it yourself - on your author profile click combine editions just above your list of books. Then you can combine different editions of the same book.

Eric Quinn (eqknowles) Ahhhh. Thanks, Mona!

Steph Bennion (stephbennion) | 178 comments Hi - This is about another indie writer's book, not my own. I added Walking a Fine Timeline to Goodreads because I couldn't find it listed, then recently realised the author had listed it under a slightly different (and incorrect?) title, Walking a Fine Time Line. Can these be merged?

Steph - I combined both editions after I changed the title of the edition you added to match the original, as well as add a "." after the author's middle name. So now if you'll look you'll see only one occurence of that book, with two editions.

Thank you!

Mia Darien (mia_darien) | 425 comments Are there any about who can help me with some librarian changes? I need to change some cover images and a couple of descriptions.

Thanks!


message 12: by Sean (new)

Sean McLachlan | 68 comments I just added my new post-apocalyptic thriller Radio Hope but couldn't figure out how to add the cover. Can anyone give me advice?
(Yes, I'm probably missing something obvious here)


message 13: by Sean (new)

Sean McLachlan | 68 comments . . .and it was obvious. It's fixed now. Radio Hope (Toxic World Book One) by Sean McLachlan


message 14: by John (new)

John Smythe There are a number of errors on the pages for the various ABA Lane Bird Finding Guides, mostly around editions. E.g. the page for A Birder's Guide to Southern California shows the first edition but has the ISBN 10 and 13 for the 5th edition. I tried to add the 5th edition, but I couldn't use its ISBN because it was taken. Is it possible to fix this somehow?

Thanks.
