Kate McBrien | 14 comments Hello Librarian Team,

*I hope I chose the correct folder*

I’m the author of the following titles and would like to request updated book descriptions (blurbs) for each. I’ve tried editing directly, but it appears I need a librarian’s assistance.

How do you recommend I send them to you? I don't think I have enough room in this message box for all eight blurbs..
Thank you so much for your help!

Scott | 8598 comments If the book record has a default description set, a librarian will have to do it, but for many of these you should be able to do it.

I'm unsure about this, but was under the impression that a description can be added for an edition using the default but the author cannot set the new description as default.

There have been a lot of posts from authors saying that they cannot edit the description, and I thought it was because it was set as the default (box grayed out).
