PLEASE give publishers the ability to add our own books!!!!

[Dark Owl]

I know this will go unheard because I'm sure Goodreads is more about getting in the Big 4's books over actually providing a wide platform for all readers, but I will feel better posting this.

As a independent publisher, the inability to add my own books onto Goodreads is absolutely frustrating and ridiculous. I used to be able to do this myself, and now it's been switched to having to request it to be done. Not only are my books not being added after over a month of making the request (and if I ask about it, I get reprimanded), but IF they are, the entire description of the book is not there and instead is just a couple of sentences. If this is the new format, then it needs to be made clear when we send the information in rather than seeing the actual post and it looking terrible and incorrect. It makes my hard work look sloppy and unprofessional.

Come on, Goodreads. This is not a good solution for small publishers. We are being ignored. There are ways you can verify if we are a real publisher; please, consider letting us do this so our readers can use Goodreads efficiently.
