I only have one book on Amazon and it's enrolled in KDP select. I cannot find my author name or the name of my book in Goodreads. Can I manually upload my book in order to create an author page? (also, how do I do this?) Or would that violate the KDP select agreement?

Yes, you can GR is not a bookseller site
So my book will be displayed on Goodreads as an advertisement to go buy it on Amazon? Or will people be able to read it here too? I haven't fully grasped the concept of Goodreads yet.
GR is a book cataloging site for readers to shelve (catalogue) their book collections. They can also write reviews of the books they have read and interact with other reviewers to discuss books / reviews.Users cannot read books here unless the author has uploaded a sample.
Bill, if you give us the link to your book on Amazon, someone will add the book for you. It took me a long time to get up the nerve to add a book. GR can be overwhelming at first. :-)

Do I need to have it removed before I post the link (so someone can add it correctly)? It still isn't showing up when I search for it though.
No, don't delete it. Just send a link to the book you added and someone can fix it. :-)
I was able to find the book and claim it. Apparently I also wrote something called "Supercrip," which is news to me. I posted a link to the book in a similar thread. Hopefully someone will remove it. Any idea why I can find my book in a search, but not my author name?
#8 - Looks like somebody took care of this, but in the future please provide a link to the book you are talking about.I would guess when doing the author search, but leaving the search option standard, just too much data is being returned. If you search for "Bill Jacks" with the quotes it comes back fine. Also, if I do an author search instead of an all search without the quotes it comes back.
