I’ve been a Goodreads author since 2017. My second book has just published. It’s a co-authored title: “When Losses Become Legacies: Memoirs on Grief, God, and Glory.”
My co-author established a page for the book—I believe she did that through her own Goodreads account. Though the book is searchable through my name, Kristina Cowan, when it appears in search results, the listing only shows her as the author, Christy Brunke.
I would like my name to appear in the listing. I also would like to add my author bio to the book’s Goodreads page, and link my debut title to it, “When Postpartum Packs a Punch: Fighting Back and Finding Joy.”
Is there a set of protocols for co-authored titles, or a list of suggestions?
My current line of thinking is to create an entirely separate page for the book. We also have started our own publishing imprint. The Legacies book is the first title under the imprint. My inclination is to have all books we publish through that imprint listed accordingly. If we pursue that option, the question then becomes, how do we link our debut titles? Both titles are traditionally published by different publishers.
