Jane Blythe Hello!

I have two series I need created

1. Series Title - Broken Gems
Cracked Sapphire is book 1 in the series - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

2. Series Title - Conquering Fear
Drowning in You is book 1 in the series - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
Out of the Darkness is book 2 in the series - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

Also would it be possible for someone to delete the placeholder cover for Out of the Darkness, the book has never been for sale, never sent out ARCs or anything, we haven't even finished writing the book yet so no one has received a copy of it with that cover it was merely the placeholder while we waited for the cover designer to design the cover, you can find the correct cover on my website - https://janeblythe.com.au/book/out-of...

Thank you!!

Duplicate request has been removed. Please only post requests once. If a day or two have gone by with no reply, it's fine to bump your request up by responding to your own thread. Goodreads Librarians are volunteers, and some requests may take some time to get a reply.

Also, to be a series on Goodreads, books need to have more than a common theme -- like characters in common, an overarching storyline, a shared universe, etc. What makes these series?

And will Drowning in You be published separately, or only as part of the box set?

Placeholder cover removed.

Jane Blythe My apologies I didn't think of commenting to bump the request, I will do so next time

My Broken Gems series is about five sisters, each book focusing on one of them but characters interconnecting in all books.

The Conquering Fear series that is co-written with Amanda Siegrist will also have connecting characters that appear in all the books, and yes the book will be published on its own three months after the boxset releases when it comes down and we get the rights back to publish it on our own, we created a page for it now to start collecting reviews

Thank you so much for removing the placeholder cover!

Jane Blythe Thank you for doing this.

Is there any reason why the series written by me and Amanda Siegrist (https://www.goodreads.com/series/2682...) only shows up as a series for her and not for me? Is that what happens with co-written books? I'd like it to show up as one of my series as well for my readers to find

Sandra | 31529 comments Yes, that is what happens. The series appears on the primary author page, but the books still appear on your book list.


message 9: by Jane (new)

Jane Blythe Do you know if Goodreads will change that? As Amanda isn't the primary author, we're both the authors, she's just the one that add the books. What would happen in the future if I add one of our books, will it then think I'm the primary author? How will that affect our series? Sorry for the questions and I understand if you don't have the answers, this is the first time either of us have co-written a book so we don't know all these little details!

Actually, we go by the order on the covers, and since you are the first named, I moved you to primary position.

On Goodreads, there can only be one author in primary position, so even if the writing was shared equally between you two, the first name on the cover is called primary and gets the series listing on their page.

Thank you so much for taking time to explain that to me!

Amanda Siegrist (amandasiegrist) | 58 comments Hi, so I don't see the series at all on my profile. So does this mean it will not appear under my series area because I'm not listed as the primary author?

Yes, unfortunately. Here's a link to write to Goodreads about this if you wish:
