Add book to series & combine editions

[Kris]

Hello,
I have the following requests regarding my books on Goodreads.
1. Please combine the 2 listings for Slivers of memory
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

2. I would like to add the following book
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
to the following series
https://www.goodreads.com/series/3705...
It is book 1 on preorder

3. Please add the following book
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
to a new series 'Shadow and Ruin'. It is also book 1

4. How do I show all the series/books I have on my author page?
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
I only have the Aeterna Chronicles, so I'd like to add the Chosen legends and the Shadow & Ruin series

5. I would like to change the picture of this book
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
but was unable to do it. Any help.

I apologize for the long list of requests.
Thank you so much for your help,
Kris

1. Done.
2. Done.
3. How are the books connected? What makes it a series?
4. Series with multiple authors will only show in the author page of the primary author. Nothing librarians can do about that.
5. Why? An ACE can be created if the cover was updated but covers that were once available cannot be removed from the site. Though it's strange there isn't an ACE note and the ASIN was only moved by staff and there's an empty record. We cannot know the reason behind these actions.

Thanks for the help.

3. Quest of Shadow and Ruin is book 1 of the Shadow and Ruin series. Amazon has a series name, but I cannot see it on Goodreads. Book 2 of the Shadow and Ruin series will be out in 2 months. How do i create a series to put the book in?

4. So Ryver Knight is the primary author and the series, I assume, will appear on her author page
About co-authoring - AJ Dasher has been refused to join the author group many times by goodreads. No reason given.

3) Goodreads has its own policies regarding series. That's why librarians ask what makes the series a series. Since only 1 book is available and the series page on amazon does not provide any series description I cannot verify the series meets the criteria to create it. How are the books connected? Only librarians can create a series.

4) Yes.

5) No reply.

The author has to contact Goodreads support directly. Librarians are volunteers and have nothing to do with approvals of the author program https://www.goodreads.com/about/conta...

You might want to remove the email address from your reply as this is a public/searchable forum.

Thanks a lot for the help.
When we publish the second book of the Quest of Shadow and Ruin (due Oct/Nov) , i'll post a message here, so you can add the book to the series Shadow and Ruin.
Have a great week.
