Librarians are not staff, we are volunteers.
You will want to contact staff directly. I recommend sending them a link to the author profile you are trying to claim.

Is your book on Goodreads yet?
Can you link to it?
If the answer to one or both of these questions is no, please use the Contact Us link at the top of this group.
If the answer to one or both of these questions is yes, a librarian can take a look at the book & see if we can offer some insight.
But only staff can create an author profile.

It is just the one book title, correct? If so I can combine the editions.
What formats was the book published in?
Can you post the full ISBN? The edition that has the ISBN has it in the wrong field so it didn't save properly.
Do you have a link to the publisher or to a website with the book for sale (Amazon if possible)?
The more information, the better the chances of staff having everything they need to approve the application.

Did you click on the 'Is this you? Let us know' link at the bottom of that page? If you already did, please see message #2 and contact staff. Librarians cannot help with this.
Please remember that it is the weekend now and also there is a corona crisis going on, so it may take some time before your application is dealt with.
ETA I combined the editions and corrected the ISBN on the hardcover edition, but it says the ISBN is wrong. Please check. Also, is there only one edition (the hardcover)?


There is nothing else librarians can do for you. Hopefully your author application will be dealt with soon, but it may take a while (generally two weeks, but probably longer now).


Sorry, no idea. There is a link in message 2. Please use that to ask staff.


As has been explained several times, Goodreads Librarians are not employees of Goodreads, but volunteers. They have no control over approvals of Goodreads Author status. If you are having a problem with yours, you'll need to use the Contact Us link on the Help page.
