<h1>How to Add a Standard Ebooks Ebook to Goodreads</h1>
<p>The Goodreads website (owned by Amazon) is a crowd-sourced repository of information about books. It’s useful to have our publications listed there so that our editions can be selected by members to add to their reading lists.</p>
<p>In almost all cases, the book will already be in the Goodreads database; we are interested in adding our productions as new <em>editions</em> of those books.</p>
<ol>
<li>
<h2>Step 1</h2>
<p>Go to the Goodreads website (<a href="https://goodreads.com">https://goodreads.com</a>).</p>
<p>Go to the <a href="https://goodreads.com">Goodreads website</a>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<h2>Step 2</h2>
<p>Search for the book you are adding. Try to find the closest match.</p>
<p>As an example, I'm going to add my production of "The Rights of Man" by Thomas Paine. See the screenshot below.</p>
<p><img src="../../images/goodreads-1.svg" width="100%"/></p>
<p>As an example, we’ll add out production of <i><a href="/ebooks/thomas-paine/the-rights-of-man">The Rights of Man</a></i> by <a href="/ebooks/thomas-paine">Thomas Paine</a>. See the screenshot below.</p>

</li>
<li>
<h2>Step 3</h2>
<p> It's important to add your production as a new EDITION, not a new book.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, Goodread has a new UI which makes it harder to locate the list of editions for a work. Follow the screenshots below to get to that list.</p>
<p>Click on “More details”.</p>

<h2>Step 4</h2>
<p>Now click on “See all editions”.</p>

<p>Click on “Add a new edition”.</p>

<p>Click on “Add a new edition.”</p>
<figure><img src="/images/goodreads-4.svg"/></figure>
</li>
<li>
<h2>Step 6</h2>
<p>You'll see all of the data which has been put in for the particular edition you found in your original search. We're going to overwrite most of this.</p>

<h2>Step 7</h2>
<p>Fill in the details of the Standard Ebooks edition.</p>
<p>This <a href="https://github.com/drgrigg/SE_metadata_exporter.git">quick-and-dirty Python utility</a> I wrote will help export the required metadata either as a JSON file (which some tools like Keyboard Maestro can consume and use to automate the filling in of the form), or as a tab-delimited file.</p>

<h2>Step 8</h2>
<p><b>Don't forget</b> to select the cover image, which needs to have been downloaded onto your system. I use the thumbnail image in my Calibre directory of SE files.</p>
<p><img src="../../images/goodreads-7.svg" width="100%"/></p>
<p><strong>Don’t forget</strong> to select the cover image, which needs to have been downloaded onto your system. Covers can be found at the ebook’s downloads folder, for example: <a href="/ebooks/thomas-paine/the-rights-of-man/downloads/cover.jpg">https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/thomas-paine/the-rights-of-man/downloads/cover.jpg</a>.</p>
<figure><img src="/images/goodreads-7.svg"/></figure>
</li>
<li>
<h2>Step 9</h2>
<p>Click on "Create Book". Shortly afterwards you'll be taken to the <b>Review</b> page for this book. You can then click on the book title to see the new entry in the Goodreads system.</p>
<p>Voila! Your edition is now in Goodreads</p>
