message 1: by Gene (new)

Gene Kendall | 8 comments Hi, I have a new book listed for presale currently on Amazon. Goodreads cut off the final part of my book's title -- it should be Love is Dead(ly)...not merely "Dead." I'd like to know how this can be fixed. Thanks for any help!

Scott | 9022 comments It already reads that way.

You're not seeing it on your profile page because the system is removing the parenthetical. It's a technical issue.

I changed the parentheses to brackets.

It's a systemic issue: The Goodreads title field is programmed to recognize parentheses as a series, and treats what is in them differently.

Great. Thanks!
