Scott Cramer | 71 comments Hi, at one point I saw a list of questions to answer to create meta data, which, in turn, somehow might recommend a book to a member. I cannot find this section, though.

Secondly, a series. I am planning a trilogy, I would like to include the name of the trilogy and the name of the second book in the series (which has yet to be written)

Can you please let me know where I do this.
Thank you

Go to your review of the book.

At the bottom is "edit book metadata"

Hi Banjomike,
I still can't find edit book metadata
I have friend reviews
Reviews from people you follow
Lists with this book
Community reviews

And on my author page, I don't see anything to do with a review.

Okay, thanks... I have a working title for my book 2 and the name for the series.
But I don't have an ISBN, or anything like that.
Is it still possible to list the book on GR...
And where do I do this.
Thanks

Krystal109 | 1086 comments We can make a placeholder listing until you get an ISBN for it. Just give me the info and I will make a series for you.

Scott Cramer | 71 comments Thank you!

The series is called

The Toucan Trilogy

Book number 2 will be called "Colony East"

"Night of the Purple Moon" is the first book in the series, currently listed in Goodreads

PS. I am still trying to find the link for adding metadata.

Krystal109 | 1086 comments Here is the series: http://www.goodreads.com/series/84174...

Sorry, I can't help with the metadata. That is something I have no experience with.

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments The meta data exists on the review page for the book and is added per user.

Go to the book page you want to add meta data for, select review - then if use the More Options hyperlink at the bottom of the review page - then there is a hyperlink to Metadata

Banjomike | 5166 comments As Paula says.

Scott, you must be the only author on Goodreads who has not reviewed his own book.

I think you are right. I just added the book and thought, this feels strange.
But I am now moving in the right direction.
Thanks

Actually, it tends to about a 50/50 split, overall. But it varies from that in some genres more than others.
