Liv Webster | 25 comments Hi librarians,
Please help as I am at a total loss as of what to do and am very stressed.
I had to delete my ebook and republish a new one on KDP. now my ebook goodreads is "Invalid" as the ASIN number no longer matches.

In addition, the paperback of my book on goodreads is incorrectly linked to the new ebook ASIN.

I have been trying to contact support but have not had much luck. My book is not visible in search by my name or title and I have no idea where to go from here.

Please help me sort this out so people can rate/review/view my work again.

Book title: A kingdom of salt and stone
Author: Liv webster
Paperback ISBN: 979-8-9998889-0-7
Paperback ASIN: B0FMYHS86T

Ebook ISBN: 979-8-9998889-1-4 (in Invalid status due to OLD ebook ASIN: B0FMGY3TJ8)
Ebook ASIN: B0FQ81DX6F (this is incorrectly linked to my paperback)

at the very least, can you please assure me that this CAN be fixed?

in addition, i have recieved this message: 2 errors prohibited this book from being saved:
Isbn13 is taken by an existing book with the title "A Kingdom of Salt and Stone (The Jewel-Light Trilogy Book 1)" in 'Invalid' status. If you believe this is an error please double-check your data, then check the Goodreads Librarians group. ISBNs are optional so you can also add this book without an ISBN.
Asin is taken by an existing book with the title "A Kingdom of Salt and Stone (Jewel-Light #1)" in 'Public' status. If you believe this is an error please double-check your data, then check the Goodreads Librarians group. ASINs are optional so you can also add this book without an ASIN.

Liv Webster | 25 comments Did you correct the ASIN number on the kindle version?


message 6: by Liv (new)

Liv Webster | 25 comments And will people be able to search it by name/review it again?


message 7: by Liv (new)

Liv Webster | 25 comments I am still getting the message that it does not meet catalog guidelines and I think it is due to the incorrect ASIN number , which is the ASIN linked to my paperback on Goodreads for some reason (this is really the book number)

We cannot modify ASINs or ISBNs once they are on a book record.

Could you please just wait a while?
