Steve Morgan (steviephil) | 11 comments Hi. I just self-published my 2nd book. The Kindle version was assigned to the wrong Steve Morgan author profile and I spoke to someone a few days ago about moving it to my author profile (that thread is here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...).

Now the paperback and hardcover formats have had the same thing happen to them: DEMONS: The Birth of Magic & DEMONS: The Birth of Magic

Can they be assigned to my author page instead please? Steve Morgan

Also, I don't know if this can be at the same time or requires a separate post/request (and please let me know if it's the latter), but can the Kindle version (Demons: The Birth of Magic) be stylised as "DEMONS" instead of "Demons" please? And the same thing for its series ("DEMONS #1" instead of "Demons #1")? It was styled correctly originally, but I think it changed when it was assigned to my author profile (not sure why).

Thanks!

Thanks for sorting, Scott - it's much appreciated.

Ahh I see, that makes sense. It's a shame because that's not how it should be stylised, but if that's Goodreads' rules then I can't contest that.

I see that they're all now "The Birth of Magic" rather than "Demons: The Birth of Magic" (or "DEMONS: The Birth of Magic"). I'm guessing the removal of "Demons" is in line with Goodreads' rules as well?

Scott | 9538 comments We put the series in parenthesis after the main title.

Fair enough. Thanks Scott.

Would it make a difference if I explain that I envisage "Demons" or "Demons I" as the title, and "The Birth of Magic" as the subtitle? I just don't see "The Birth of Magic" as the book's name - it's more of a subtitle than its title.

Sorry - not trying to be difficult, just trying to get my head around all this (not just Goodreads but publishing as a whole)... 😄 Appreciate all your help.

Scott | 9538 comments No, it wouldn't make a difference. Sorry.

No no, that's fine, no need to be sorry. Thanks so much, Scott - appreciate it.
