Mel Torrefranca (meltorrefranca) | 17 comments Hello! I run the publishing house Lost Island Press and we recently signed Fiona Holland, so we'd like to clear up some mistakes here.

1. The current book page for Below is linked to an incorrect Goodreads author. I believe our "Fiona Holland" does not have an author page and needs a new one created that we can later help her claim.

2. I believe technically, according to Goodread's rules, the title should not be fully capitalized as it currently is.

3. While not announced publicly, the trilogy name has been retitled "Project X" rather than "Project //". If this could be corrected that would be great.

Official book page from our website as verification: https://lostislandpress.com/shop/below

Please add [Done] to the title of your request so other librarians know it has been completed :)
Will the books in this series share any characters/the world?

Will do! And I'm sorry to bother you, but I'm a bit confused about what happened, as the link you sent seemed to be empty. I can't find the book or author profile anymore. But to answer your question, yes the books will share the same characters and world. It's a YA dystopian trilogy :))

Mel Torrefranca (meltorrefranca) | 17 comments Actually just sharing an update! I found the book page: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

However it now has this label attached: This item does not meet our catalog guidelines and can no longer be rated or reviewed.

Is this related to some of the meta data? I think some information needs to be corrected there as well:

- Publication Date = February 6, 2027
- Publisher = Lost Island Press
- ISBN = 978-1-962876-16-2 (paperback)

I believe Fiona may have set this up a while back when she was planning to self-publish.

YellowBlackKing | 3616 comments It was incorrectly marked as invalid. The metadata shouldn't be corrected since this is clearly an older edition with a different ISBN.
