Kathrynn | 187 comments If the author is also the narrator (for audio), should we add their name once as the author and a second time as the narrator?

vicki_girl | 2764 comments I would just put "Narrated by the author" in the description.

Eva-Marie Nevarez (evamarie3578) | 753 comments I haven't ever done anything in that instance. Vicki's suggestion seems to be a good one.

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments You can list the role for the author as "Author/Narrator"; I don't think that the system lets you add the same author to a book twice.


JG (Introverted Reader) | 487 comments I've been wondering the same thing about authors who also illustrate their work.

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) | 2400 comments I thought if an author had more than one role we listed them just once without further specifying role. Putting illustrated, narrated by the author in the book description field would make sense.

Kathrynn | 187 comments My preference is in the description field as well. Wanted clarification first as I've encountered this on occasion here. Thanks!
