Rodrigo Vargas (rodrigomakescomics) | 7 comments Hi, so I've tried several times to join the author program and so far I haven't gotten any answer, which I imagine it means it's declined. But I'm pretty sure I am me.

I've filled out the form time and time again and so far nothing.

This is Me https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Except for a a lot of books :
Ahora Abracadabra!
El nacimiento del bejuco/ The Birth of bejuco
La Casa del Caracol (the Snail's House): Poesia Coral
Nuestras lenguas
El telescopio de Valentina
Tobias y sus 99 hermanos

What can I do?

Emily | 17598 comments Which books ARE yours? We will move them to a new profile.

To clarify, it's not just for identification purposes. They have to verify where your book is published and in what format.

For example: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
Where is this book available? It would be good to have a URL or other indicator of how it is published since there is no ISBN.

Rodrigo Vargas (rodrigomakescomics) | 7 comments Oh, I get it.
Should I add a link to all books on the form?

https://www.comixology.com/Everything...

That's the link for this particular book.

Rodrigo Vargas (rodrigomakescomics) | 7 comments Sorry if I'm a bit of a mess, I have a hard time doing all of these online things

Emily | 17598 comments If I had to guess, and I have no special insight, but I think part of the issue is the number of profiles that belong to authors with your name. There's another illustrator besides you as well.
Only one of them is claimed, so some of the books have been moved to different profiles and are scattered around. I will sort them a bit now.

Emily | 17598 comments Someone added the other editions of Everything Will Be Okay.
You will need to write to Support and let them know that all of your books are now on this one profile.

No, publishers are not authors.
