Rinelle Grey (rinellegrey) | 13 comments I have a bunch of serial episodes that have been unpublished for some time (the combined books are still available). I'm wondering if there is some way to mark these as unpublished/out of print, and if this will stop them appearing so highly on my author page. At the moment, several of them are on the first page of books, and the second page is entirely unpublished episodes. The one listed in this post has been unpublished for several years. I don't want to remove them, just showcase my most recent books on the first few pages.

Hannah (bookwormhannah) | 198 comments If you are a Goodreads author, there is away to pick which books show at the top of your page via the Author Dashboard.

Goodreads hosts millions of out-of-print books, so choosing your own display order is the best option.

Librarians don't have any insight into site functionality, and this would come under that. My only guess would be that they are shelved more than the other books.

I know I've got quite a few of them :)

Authors can choose which edition of book is shown as the default, but not the order in which the books appear.

In addition to stating that they are out of print, you can insert a link to the main book in which they appear at the top of the description. You can use the html so that it is not a long website link.
