Hi. Following this new thread :)Was wondering if my book's genre can be edited. Mine is Below Torrential Hill (#27). I'd like it to be "poetic coming of age / magical-realism" if possible, just to give a little more detail on it.
Hi Jonathan! I could change it to "magical-realism" if you'd like? GR limits the numbers of characters per post so we try to keep descriptions short and sweet :)
No, that's alright then. Coming-of-age works.
Following this new thread. Again, I am waiting for Goodreads to attach my profile to my book #31. Go here https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/1... if you're looking to contact me for a copy.
Hi, I would like to participate with my book The Molki Bride- its of the Romantic genre. Was wondering how to go about contacting authors and get my book featured.

To participate, review any of the books from the first post of the list. After you post your GR/Amz reviews in this thread, your book will be added to the list. To contact an author for a review copy, please use the goodreads messaging system. You can also read through kindle unlimited if you have it.
By the way, I notice that your messaging is set to private. Please change it so that anyone can send you messages. This is necessary before your book can be added to the list so that readers will be able to contact you.
Your setting for 'Who Can Send Me Private Messages' needs to be 'anyone'.
Please follow this link to check and change your privacy setting.

Perfect, thanks so much :) Just post back here after you've finished reviewing and I'll get your book added to the list.
Hi Kat! For entry #29 I have created a new cover version: Oneless Oneness: Tao as an Existential Remedy
Could you please update the entry with this new version?
Thank you :)

Marcel, I *think* I updated it. Let me know.

I might be missing it… but, where is the list of books available for review if we want to participate in the one for ones?Thanks!

Hi Catherine! It's in the first post of the thread.
Thanks! I thought those were books that were being deleted. I’ll work from that list.
I’ve wondered about this too. In the first post at the top I see only one book, and I can’t enlarge it or get info by clicking on it. The next post I see is a list of books that will be deleted. Not sure what I’m missing.

There are currently 31 books listed in the first post, and those are the ones available to review. It's possible you may need to view the list using a web browser rather than the mobile app. Whenever I try to use Goodreads with the app, there are always features that do not work correctly for me.
Catherine wrote: "Thanks! I thought those were books that were being deleted. I’ll work from that list."The second post of the thread lists books that are being deleted. The first post of the thread lists books that are available for review (currently there are 31 available.)
Trish, one of our other mods checked from her phone and said that when using the app, the same error someone else mentioned occurs for her (Goodreads only displays one book.) She said when using a web browser on a phone, the list displays correctly. On a desktop or laptop, the list should display correctly.
Kay, thank you! I can see the list now in the browser. I knew I wasn’t crazy, and I assumed you weren’t hallucinating either. :-)
I have read Sunwielder by D. Wallace Peach from the One on One Reviews. Can I add my books to the list now? I didn't see a lot of activity on some of the 1 for 1 pages, so I wasn't sure where to post for this. My review is posted below, and I posted to Amazon, but that will take a few days to show up.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I want to add my new book "Four Puppet Kings and a Fool" to the review list.

The GR app doesn't allow you to do all the same stuff as the web browser (I always struggle when I have to use GR that way) so now that I know this is an issue, I will add a note to the first post of the thread to help other people out who may encounter the same problem. Hope you can find some great books to read :).

Hi Kat,I reviewed Below Torrential Hill by Jonathan Koven, but Amazon took so long to post the review, the book isn't on the list anymore. I noticed Sotto read it at about the same time as I did.

Good afternoon This is Isaac. I just wanted to notify that I have made a second edition in regards to my novel into the Violet gardens. So indeed the novel has been updated

Hi Isaac. I switched your novel over to the other available edition. If this isn't what you wanted me to do, please provide a link with the edition of your book you want to appear. Thank you.
Good evening Kat,I received your message tonight. Unfortunately, I been having a hard time incorporating the second edition component into my Goodreads profile. But I do have the link of the second edition via Amazon:

Hi Isaac! Thank you for your message. I would need a Goodreads link to your book if there is something you wanted me to update as that is how the list is displayed. Hope this helps.
Good morning Here is the link
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
The second edition has a new book cover so I can send it to you if needed

Hi Isaac. I have changed the listing back to the link you provided (which is what it originally was.)
I do not have the ability to switch out your book cover. If you want to change the book cover that is listed on Goodreads, you will need to either edit that information yourself on your book page, or if you are not able to do that (I've never tried to update a book cover myself), you should put in a request with the Goodreads Librarians. Here is the correct thread to put in the request:
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/group...
Good evening Kat,Hope its well. The situation was handled and the second edition was implemented.

Glad you were able to get your situation resolved.
I have finished and reviewed "Dyrwolf"by Kat Kinney. My Goodreads review should be attached. I will post the Amazn link when it is up. Thanks!https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Thanks, Seth! Made that change for you.
Hello, I have newly released a 2nd edition of "Essence," spot #13, with a new cover. Can I please upload the 2nd edition in place of the first? Thanks.
My apologies. I thought the new edition had been successfully uploaded, but that doesn't appear to be the case. I'll get back to you.
Charles wrote: "My apologies. I thought the new edition had been successfully uploaded, but that doesn't appear to be the case. I'll get back to you."Hi Charles! If you would like me to update your book, I will need you to provide me a link for the goodreads book page you would like it updated to. Thanks!
Review for Blessedly Bound:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Amazon will follow.
Kat, would be possible to update my entry, so both
The Game and the Board (the book to be displayed) and Errant could be a choice (mentioned in the text)?
Thank you.
Hi Florian! I updated your numbers. I can put "or any book by this author" if you'd like or switch your listing to "The Game and the Board" rather than "Errant"?

The non-reciprocal review rule still applies.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Missing a review? Add a message with your book and details of the review round your were in. I will be checking. Those attempting to game the system are risking being blacklisted. When you receive a review, your book will be removed from the list. You do not have to review anyone else (before or after you put your book on the list).
2. If you are not missing a review, but would like to put your book on the list. You will need to review a book on this list first.
3. Readers. Readers are invited to contact authors on the list for review copies, you do not have to submit a book yourself.
To review, contact the author of a book on the list for a review copy.
When you have completed the review, please post to goodreads and amazon in the normal way. Add your book link if you would like your book added to the list of available books (in the same message please.) The moderator will remove the book you have reviewed from the list and add yours.
You can participate as often as you like, but if you want multiple reviews, please join a review round. Only one book per author will be allowed on the available list at any one time.
FAQ
if as an author, you receive more than one request for a review, lucky you. Your book stays on the available list until a review is received. If the book you are reviewing has already been removed from the list when you come to post your review don't worry, your review will still result in your own book going on the list.
Books available for review. Please contact the author for a copy.
If you do not see your book and you think it should be here, check message 2.
Remember, if you review one of the first ten books, you get a x2 on your own! Let's get some of these 'old timers' off the list!
The books listed in post #2 can also be read for one for one credit, but readers are responsible for obtaining a copy through purchasing or KU because the author may no longer be regularly checking Goodreads messaging.
If you message someone from the first post of the list and do not hear back from that author after more than a week, please send a private message to moderator Kat Kinney.
NOTE: When using the Goodreads App, the list of books may not display correctly (i.e. you may only see one book listed instead of the 30 or so that are currently on the list.) On a web browser on a phone, the list should display correctly, as well as on a desktop or laptop.
