Alessandra Hazard (alessandra_hazard) | 44 comments Hello,
My short book, At Your Service https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

should be added to my series Masters https://www.goodreads.com/series/2899...

as Book #0.5. Someone mistakenly listed the author of the book as NOT A BOOK. Please correct it. The author is me, Alessandra Hazard. The book was part of the giveaway on prolificworks: https://claims.prolificworks.com/gg/w...
The link to the book on my official website: https://www.alessandrahazard.com/book...

Thank you.

Items only available to newsletter subscribers or by subscription to a site are not considered published works on Goodreads.

Hello,
As far as I'm aware, no subscription to the site is required to download the book--anyone can download it; subscribing is optional. And I've checked other books that participated in the giveaway and none of them are listed as NOT A BOOK, only mine? For example, this one: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
I don't mind the policy, but I'm confused why my book is the only one subjected to it when it has more ratings than the other books in the same giveaway do, and yet they are not listed as NOT A BOOK as mine does.

But if the book being only available as part of a giveaway is a huge issue, you can list the book's release date as January 2023, when it will be released on Amazon. That should help, right?

Thank you for pointing out another item that needed to be marked as NOT A BOOK. I have done so.

Goodreads Librarians only become aware of items needing edits when they happen to come upon them, or if someone reports them in this group.
