[Abbas]

I have an author friend and he asked me how to publish his new book in goodreads, so I spent three houres trying to figer out how to publish it and I didn't find any way to and it's very complicated , so please can anyone you guide me!
Please step by step and don't give an article because I I've read them all and didn't understand how to make an author profile to publish new book.
Thanks for any help

We don't publish books. What you see here are just records of books that exist elsewhere.
