Hi there. Just checking on the status of this. It's been a while since I made my request, and I see many other more recent series requests have already been handled. Could someone let me know the status?
Hi again. Checking again on the status of my latest book and adding it to my series. It's never taken this long for the series to be added before, and I haven't heard anything about my request, so I'm wondering if there's something else I need to do. This book launches on September 6th and I really need the series to be included at that point so new readers can find my other books. If someone could get back to me on this, I'd appreciate it.
I spoke to Emily about this request and she suggested I add one more reply to this post. Thank you.
I don't see that series. The series page may have been deleted for not meeting Goodreads series criteria—see this page: https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/...From that page: Imprints and other unrelated collections of works (usually by multiple authors) are not series. They can be grouped with a Listopia list, or the collection/imprint information can be listed in the edition field, but they should not be grouped into a series, or listed on a book's title line.
As a general rule, a book is only part of a series if that designation would apply to all editions of a work. To be a series, books should have characters and/or universes in common. In the case of imprints and other non-series collections, it is common for some of these books to be published under numerous other imprints as well.
Making a Listopia list might be a good option: https://www.goodreads.com/list
Thanks so much!
