Add a book to my series

[Becca]

Hi there! Please add the following book to the Writers Helping Writers series. It should be #10.

Thanks so much!

This collection of titles is not a valid GR series.

To be a series on Goodreads, books need to have more than a common theme -- like characters in common, an overarching storyline, a shared universe, etc.

How do these books fit into this criteria?

[Becca]

The first book in this series was published in 2012; the Writers Helping Writers Descriptive Thesaurus Collection has been a set at Goodreads almost since my writing partner and I started our accounts here.

It's a set of nonfiction books on writing craft. Maybe that's where the disconnect is happening, because it's a nonfiction series rather than fiction?

Each book highlights a separate area of storytelling. The common thread is the thesaurus format of these books. Each one contains a robust front matter section that teaches writers how to master that aspect of storytelling. The second section is the bulk of the book: a series of entries that provide brainstorming options on how to write settings, character traits, conflict scenarios, emotions, etc.

I'm including a link to the first book in our series at Amazon. If you scroll down, you can see a list of all the other books, which should be enough to confirm this is a legitimate series. Viewing the Look Inside feature for a few of the books would also verify that these are all books in the same series.

Hi, Camille. Can I please get an update on this? This book launches in less than a month; ARC reviews have gone out and people will be leaving reviews at Goodreads. I need this book attached to the rest of the series so when readers see those reviews, they can easily find the rest of the books.

Camille, it's been two weeks since I've heard from you regarding my request, and I'm worried that something may have happened to you. I'm running out of time on my end, so if I don't hear from you in the next few days, I think the best thing for me to do will be to open a new ticket for this issue. Hoping you're ok and I hear from you soon.

Considering:

A: The series already *exists* and this isn't a request for a *new* series, where the series justification rules would come into play

B: you're the *author* saying it's a series

i went ahead and did it


done

Thanks so much, Gwen.
