Author Issues Folder?

[Tom]

Should there be an Author Issues folder?
I have noticed that Author request/issues tend to end up in either General or Book Issues folders.

Most author issues are really book issues.

I have an author issue and don't know where to put it. Maybe under general will work.

Can I add reviews that others have made for my books? I see in my list of my own books that there are no reviews, but I have had very good reviews in other venues.

Eric, many authors add these in either the writing section or via their blog.

Thanks...what is meant by, "the writing section?"

I never thought of that, good idea. Thanks!

True. But when you have a whole bunch of 'book issues', all for one author, and to fix it requires author disambiguation, it's easier to approach the project as an 'author' project than a bunch of individual 'book issues'. Like we were doing recently with Adam Smith: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/5...

I guess there used to be a big 'author disambiguation' thread. That is kind of the same thing as a "author issues" section, but just not as formal, or easy to manage. With a separate 'author issues' section, we could create a working thread for each disambiguation project.

The previous author disambiguation thread was a list of completed work, not work to be done.
