When I uploaded an ebook and set it so I could review it before it went public the link to make it go public returned an error message that in was unavailble.

I re-did the upload without the review and it seems to be fine; however the link in the email to edit the ebook that is in the email gives the same error message as follows:

page unavailable


An unexpected error occurred. We will investigate this problem as soon as possible — please check back soon!

Have you tried editing the ebook from your author dashboard instead of from the email link? I don't have any ebooks on Goodreads, but if you go to your author dashboard and look at your book, is there a link near the book cover to edit the ebook? By the way, I went to your book page and I was able to view the sample of the ebook, so it's definitely there.

I thought I'd mention that you've reviewed your book three times, on the three different editions. Any reviews for an edition end up on the same book page, so it looks a little odd that there are three identical reviews you've written. I suggest removing two of those reviews and just leaving one :)

Thanks Mona. I'm still learning how Goodreads works. I'll remove two of the reviews.

I cannot find how to delete the review though.

I posted the info on the links not working in case there's someone reading it who can fix the problems.

This is a bug on our side at the moment. Someone is working on it, but it might be a few days before it's resolved. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Whenever I try to edit my profile I get this message: Sorry, only users with librarian status can edit book & author data.

I can't seen to get past this--as far as I know I'm logged on as 'Author'--and I can see the profile, and it gives the option to edit it, but I get this error message.

I seem to recall having to request that the author profile be activated. It appeared to be Okay, but I couldn't get things to work either. Send a request to Goodreads. They responded quickly when I did.
