Sheila Cronin | 116 comments Hi. When I post a comment about my new release, Heart Shaped II, it won't come up on the search list when I want to "add book" to a comment. Please look into this. Thanks.

Goodreads staff stopped sponsoring and participating in this group last year so no one here can help you with this. You’ll need to email Goodreads Help directly.

I’m almost positive creative writing doesn’t get catalogued in the Goodreads books database. You could ask in the Librarian’s Group, they can tell you what the definition of a ‘book’ is here - I’ve seen discussions there on what’s Not A Book but I don’t remember the criteria.

Thanks. But the problem is that I also looked through the genre of my story, but strangely I didn't find it. I mean, doesn't a new story normally show up right at the beginning of the right genre section, or at the very end? Or does Goodreads put new stories just somewhere in the middle of all of the thousands of stories?

I’m sorry, that’s a part of GR I just don’t know much about so I better bow out. : ) Hopefully someone else may chime in.
You can post a question using Help, at the bottom of the page - good luck!
