It will be self-published and is not available yet on Amazon. Is it possible for you to add in the other series tag that I had? This book is the start of novella spin-offs, which will be its own separate series, but this particular one also links to the main series.
I had the novella series as: A Metahuman Files: Classified Novella
Thank you.
It is linked to both series.Here's the novella series: https://www.goodreads.com/series/2254...
Edit: Changed so that the novella series show up as the main series

Oh, I didn't see that it was in the text where both series were! I understand how that works now with the multiple series. In which case, I hate to pester you, but could you switch it back to the Metahuman Files 4.5 tag instead? This particular novella should have that series as the main link in the title.
Sorry, and thank you!
So I switched the title tag manually, pushing up Metahuman Files 4.5 to show first, but now the series title has disappeared from the title area on the series page. Series page: https://www.goodreads.com/series/1999...
Is there a way to make it show up again?
Thank you!
Not sure why is doesn't show on the series page. It does show up on the book page - might be that it just hasn't updated in the system yet. Some changes take a while before they show up everywhere.
Do you know how long those changes take to push through? The series title is still not showing up in the series page, in my update queue for when people post they want to read the book, or even on the GR link when I posted the link on my Facebook. However, it shoes up on the book page itself, so I'm not sure what is going on.Thanks.
No idea. I’ve never seen this exact problem before today (but the same was going on in another series today)

No, I don’t know if it has been fixed.
no idea what you did wrong Maria the book wasn't added to the series at all (so wasn't a caching issue)I did add it now and set as non primary work as it's a novella.
Hailey is it really an ebook (digital book sold elsewhere) or in fact a kindle edition (digital book sold on Amazon)?
Weird. It was added exactly the same way as books to any other series and everything looked correct in the book edit page and the individual book page, just not on the series page. Thanks for fixing whatever was wrong!Edit: Everything look exactly the same now.
There was a librarian helping me last night to reset the series. Apparently the book can't be part of two series, so I wanted to remove it from the main Metahuman Files series and keep it as the start of it's own series under the Classified: Novella tag. It seemed correct when I went to bed last night but when I woke up this morning, the series was swapped again. I would like to keep it as the Classified: Novella series now, so I think we can stop switching it around at this point.As for the availability of the book itself, it comes out in February and will only be available on Amazon.
Mod
It can, but only one will show up on the book's title line.
