Hi, we appreciate your patience as we work through the tremendous backlog. We need a webpage showing the ISBN/ASIN and other book data to validate the info and if available we need it for the cover image. It should be non-bookseller site (Amazon & AbeBooks excepted), so from the publisher, library or another acceptable site: https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/..., if you have the book, we can use a scan/photo of your copy for the cover and the page with the publication information (you can upload a scan/photo of your own to the "more photos..." section of your profile (https://www.goodreads.com/photo/new) in the browser, not the app), then copy the link here and a librarian can add it. Make sure you state the source of the photo in the text and that your account settings are public (not private).

Valentine | 1493 comments Hello Rachael. I’ve just looked this short story up, and I’m afraid it doesn’t look like one librarians would be allowed to add for you, as “stories or books only available via subscription to a newsletter…” are not permitted by Goodreads*. On the author’s official site, it’s stated that the story can only be received by both pre-ordering another novel, and signing up to the author’s newsletter.

I’m sorry to disappoint. If it ever becomes more widely available, you can make a new request following the instructions here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
