R'Lee Coffey (rleerose) | 13 comments I've been searching the site for days now and am getting really frustrated! Someone please help me add a cover to my book. The cover is in my profile pictures. (https://www.goodreads.com/photo/user/...)

The book is Faerie Tale. INS 9781502353252INS

Also, I applied for an author page twice now (a week and a half ago) and still nothing! I loved this site but lately I've been cringing every time I visit. Please please please HELP!!!

Bea R'Lee, I just checked GR for your book by the IBSN - 13 number and found that it is there with the cover added. So you should be all set for the book. I will need to allow someone else to give you info regarding your request for an author page as I am a new librarian.

R'Lee Coffey (rleerose) | 13 comments Thank you guys so much!!! It might mean very little, but you saved me from ripping all of my hair out!! :)

Abcdarian | 26579 comments R'Lee, did you apply from the author page itself? There's a link at the bottom of the page. ("Is this you? Let us know.") https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

R'Lee Coffey (rleerose) | 13 comments Yes that is me :) But I can't access that page and it isn't merged with my regular account.

Abcdarian | 26579 comments You should be able to see the link without doing anything else to that page, just scroll to the bottom. Author accounts are different than reader accounts.

R'Lee Coffey (rleerose) | 13 comments The only thing I can click on is "is this you, let us know". When I click on it, it takes me to the application for an author page which I have already filled out twice.

Applications for author status are not responded to instantly. Goodreads staff members review those, and they generally don't work weekends.

I can take up to 2-3 work days to get a response.

R'Lee Coffey (rleerose) | 13 comments Okay. I'll try to be patient :)

R'Lee Coffey (rleerose) | 13 comments Okay ... so my author page is approved and set up but my book will not link to it as there is a second author page (the one in the link above) listed for me with the book??? Sorry to be such a bother but how do I delete the second, blank author page and get my book linked to my real page???

here are the urls:
my actual page: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

the blank page that is linked to my book: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

I'll try not to cause anymore problems, promise :)
