Rachel Cathan | 2 comments Hi there,

I've just set up my Goodreads author account and have noticed that my first book, 336 Hours (a fictional diary about IVF and infertility) is not currently searchable under either of those keywords. I'm not sure how it's been categorised but I can't seem to find it anywhere at the moment. When you get a moment, it would be really helpful if someone could ensure it appears in the 'fertility' section.
Many thanks for your help.
Rachel

Here's a link to the book so it's easy to find: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

Alex | 2736 comments By keywords do you mean IVF and infertility? Goodreads does not use such keywords in its search -- it uses title, author and ISBN/ASIN. The closest thing Goodreads has are genres, which are generated based on the names of the shelves people have placed their books on.

In other words, for your book to appear under a "fertility" genre, it would have to be shelved by users on a shelf named "fertility". In any case, this is not something librarians can help with.
