Could you send me a picture of the front cover, also it's probably an idiotic question but is this book in english?

Also does the format you have paperback or hardcover?

How long does it normally take for a new book, self published through Createspace and listed on Amazon, to become searchable by ISBN or author name on good reads "add new book page"?
Thanks.

Steven, that depends. If you add the book yourself, it should be instantly searchable by ISBN, and maybe a few minutes for title/author name. However, if you mean how long does it take for a book to be AUTOMATICALLY imported into the GOodreads database, that can take quite awhile. We get periodic database updates, but I don't know what the frequency is. I would guess on the order of months.

Do you have a book you need added?

[Steven]

Yes I do. Harvest Homicide ISBN 9780615981062.

Hi Steven,

I've added your book here:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

However, there are some issues with your pen names. We try to keep book records consistent with whatever appears on the cover. You have previously published under Steve Wells, Harvest Homicide is under Steven M. Wells, and yet the profile you've claimed is Steven Wells. Too many profiles! I'm going to ask that GOodreads employees merge the profiles under a single name, which should prevent confusion about where your books appear on Goodreads when they are automatically added via Amazon database updates.

[Steven]

Agreed. I'd like to standardize on Steven M. Wells. Hopefully the Goodreads account can be changed, I did change the name for Ginger's story so at least on Amazon they are all Steven M Wells. I will go check that.

Thanks,
Steve

It gets confusing when a thread linked to a specific book or author is also used for other books. I am closing this thread. Start new ones for other books.
