Few Days ago, I put a book in Database Goodreads. The author of this book is a Young boy and I try to help him with your book.

I put this book in goodreads but i have two questions. I don't Know if anyone can help me.

I want to put the Author in the register of the book. I write his name but later, he created his Goodreads profile. How can i vinculated his URL?

The second, I want to put the URL where people can buy the book. This Book isn't in amazon or similar. Is in his author's page. How can i put the URL in the Buttons?

For the other hand, I read the librarian's rules. I don't kown if i Have a special permission or similar. Is correct the register this book? If is not correct, Could you help me and, help my friend?

The register that i created is https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

Is a spanish Book.

The profile of the author is https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/6...

And the website for buying the book is: http://luvmakingfeelings.tictail.com/

David Raz (davidraz) | 13428 comments It seems a valid book, even has an ISBN.

The name on the cover is "Luv" so this should be the primary author name. I suppose it is a pseudonym. "Adrián Trujillo González" is a secondary name.
The author can claim either one or both of these author pages. To do this they can follow these links:

To claim Luv: https://www.goodreads.com/author/conf...
To claim Adrián Trujillo González: https://www.goodreads.com/author/conf...

As for adding a URL, here are the guidelines: https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/3... So we can add that URL if it "contains additional information or resources not on Goodreads." For example, he may choose to add a preview chapter.

Please remove the link to the specific user's profile.

If he is younger than 13, he is not legally allowed to have a Goodreads account, and will not be approved for an author profile.

Just making sure this was addressed at the OP, I linked to the author profile, not the user profile, I hope this is OK.
