Elke (misspider) | 88 comments Hi, I just added the latest volume in the Earthling Halloween series, which publishes a new book by different authors each year: http://www.earthlingpub.com/halloween....

I wonder how to handle this kind of series, which is different from a continuing story series by one author.

This series collects books by different authors and stories that are not necessarily related (however, there are already two books included by the same author which create a series of their own...).

Is there a policy for this type of series?

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments Yes, it is not a series by GR standards and therefor a Listopia can be created with the books but not a formal GR Series.

The two books by the same author that are a series can have their own series created

Elke (misspider) | 88 comments OK thanks. Would it make sense to mention the series somewhere else in the book details as well, maybe in the edition field?

The listing will display on the book edition page
