More than one author

[Hayley]

Hi everyone,

I noticed that with books/series with more than one author, the book will only come up in the GR app under the first listed author (or when someone adds it & it links to twitter), and the series will only come up under the "Series by Author" section under the first listed author. (In this instance, Illuminae only comes under Amie Kaufman's author page, but not on Jay Kristoff's.)
Is there a way around this, or some way to fix this?

Thank you

The series only shows under the first listed author, that is correct, but the book should also show on the other author's page. It does in the web version, I don't see why that should be different in the app.

It still shows up on the other author's page, but not as a series, if that makes sense. (They show up as individual books, but not as a series by that author.)

Ugh, I just switched to the mobile version to check and I can't handle that at all. It seems so cluttered.

You're right, only Amie Kaufman shows on the book page. On Jay Kristoff's page I see the book but not the series, which is right, because series are only listed under the first author. But on Amie Kaufman's page I don't see any series either.

Maybe someone who has more experience with the app can shed some light. Other than that, it seems more of a question for the Feedback group, because it has to do with site functionality.

Okay, thanks so much for your help/insight!

(I didn't mean to specifically ask about just the app, but about why it only shows up on the first author's page.)

Might be because illustrators, translators, editors, narrators etc. also get added as secondary authors - it wouldn't make much sense to also link them to series - co-authored series are relatively rare.

Not that it wouldn't be nice to be able to determine which authors should be linked to series (maybe a check box, like when determining which works are primary in a series - "primary author" or something). Feel free to bring it up on the Feedback Group. ;)

Thanks so much for your help, Scylla! I'll definitely add it to the Feedback group.
