Greg | 108 comments I was just looking at the entry for Sublimation: Volume 2, Issue 1, January/February 2025 — The Heart of Winter: A Magazine of Speculative Poetry and Art and saw that most of the contributors are only listed in the description rather than among the authors at the head of the entry. This is an automated entry created by Amazon and folllows the structure of the version appearing on Amazon itself, which highlights the more well known poets and illustrators as the co-authors of the work.

Since none of the contributors are named on the cover, shouldn't all their names be linked to each of their author entries in the database and listed alphabetically as per the Librarian Manual? Or should the listing on Goodreads match that on Amazon?

Scott | 8847 comments They certainly can be listed. I don't have time to add them all right now, but I've copied the description to our book record.

Edit: I see you are a librarian, so you can do it if you like.
