Hiyaguha | 2 comments I recently tried adding Leave the Cult Handbook (I'm the author), by Hiyaguha Cohen, ASIN #B00BTAY7BI, Kindle format, Publication date March 12, 2013. It isn't showing up at all. I made a few mistakes--didn't upload cover, checked off "e-book" instead of "Kindle," & put PhD after my author name which doesn't match my author page (there's no PhD on the author page). I tried to go back to correct these things but couldn't. Now the book doesn't show up at all when I search for it. How can I edit the details and claim it? Thank you!

Empress (the_empress) I just created it because I couldn't find it at all. Search by ISB/ASIN will always give a result if the book is in the database.

You can edit,as you are the author now. The book is on your profile.

About this there are specific rule for typing in the authors name. If we don't followe them some author may have on the average up to 6 profiles. The rulse are very simple:

Authors with titles or degrees (such as Dr., Sir, Ph.D., Captain, Reverend, etc) should NOT be included in the author name (unless necessary to avoid confusion).
I have no idea which cases allowed, so if you need to have it you should leave a note not to be changed
