Carol Urton | 4 comments I am a new author and am trying to add my book but it appears that only Librarians can add books. Can someone help?

Koenraad (koenraadkelemen) | 6993 comments Everybody can add books to Goodreads, no librarian status is required to do so. You can have a go at it following this link:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/new

However, if you don't feel comfortable doing so, any librarian will be happy to add your book for you if you provide:

* Title
* Author(s) name(s)
* ISBN (or ASIN)
* Publisher
* Publication date
* Number of pages
* Format
* Description
* Edition language
* Link to cover on a NON-BOOKSELLER site, such as a publisher site, an author site, etc. No B&N or other bookseller links can be used as sources for covers or other book data, with the (recently-changed) exception of Amazon and its subsidiaries.

Brand-new users cannot. (It's an anti-spammer measure.)
