[answered] Do I qualify to be listed as a GR author?

[Mandy]

Hi, I have a question about becoming an author and if my works qualify to be listed on GR.

I have a few poems published, but they are individual poems that have been published to literary journals and magazines, not an entire book of poems. I have copies of the magazines where I have been published, but is a handful of poems enough to have an author page on GR?

So my question is do single or individual poems count as "book records"?

Thanks so much!

If the particular journals/magazines are on Goodreads your name can be added to them as a contributor which would give you an author page. Single poems would not make a book page by themselves though.

To have your name listed as a contributor to an existing literary journal, post a request in the Book Issues folder, with a link to the Goodreads record.

If the journal or magazine is not in the Goodreads catalog, post a request to have it added in the Adding New Books & Editions folder.

Instructions on how to request a book addition are here

For literary journals/magazines, we'll also need the editor's name and a link to the journal website. A librarian will research the publication to see if it qualifies for addition to Goodreads.
