How to get librarian status for specific books

[B.]

I'd like to get full librarian status for seven specific books.

1. I have a set of 7 anthologies, with 4 versions each (ebook, paperback, hardcover, Kindle), coming out in August,
2. I screwed up and didn't add them to Goodreads before setting them up in KDP and Ingram. This means that Goodreads has already picked them up, but with only limited information and jumbled descriptions.
3. I have partial librarian status for some editions, but not all. For example, for some editions, I can add authors, but not edit the default description.
4. I'd like to add authors to all editions, and reformat the default descriptions. With 7 books, 4 versions each, ~20 authors per book, that's almost 3,000 records to change.
5. I'm happy to provide the required info, of course, but feel that's a lot to ask, and am happy to do it myself.
6. It seems like the easiest way would be for me to have full librarian status just for these 7 books that I'm publishing - much as I do for entries I created from scratch myself. Is that possible? How would I go about it?

Hello,

You do not have librarian status. There's no such thing as partial librarian status. You are a verified author (Goodreads Author Program), which allows you to make some changes to books where you are listed as the primary author. However, authors cannot receive librarian status.

For edits you cannot perform yourself, you need to post a request in this group, either in the 'Book & Author Page Issues' folder or another folder appropriate for your request.

I have an idea. Since you are one of the authors, we can move these books to your profile (set your name as the primary author). So you can do some changes yourself. Then we move authors in order. Per GR rules the main author of anthologies is the Editor.

Edit: I checked the book you linked. It was incorrect import by bot. Looks like there're two problems. The bot created a new author B Morris Allen without period. And added Metaphorosis Magazine as the primary author (it shouldn't be at all). And it seems you are the Editor. The best way to solve this is to ask support to merge these profiles (librarians cannot do this). When you name is the first, you can do changes yourself.

Thank you, Olga.

EDIT: Took your advice. Now resolved!
