Your author update; book submission.

I accepted your author update on your legal name, although I reformatted your legal name as "Walton, Joseph Churches Lindsay", since that's the format we use. I also took the liberty of adding your Wikipedia page and birth date to your author info as well. You suggested in that submission that we combine "Jo L. Walton" and "Jo Lindsay Walton" on the same author page. That happened semi-automatically with your submission of "Newb Maps of Hell". I changed the author of that book to "Jo Lindsay Walton", since that's the way it appears on Amazon's cover image, then set "Jo Lindsay" to be a pseudonym for "Jo L.", and now both author names will appear on your author page. (I also added a cover image and some other detail to that book's page.)
One question about "Newb Maps of Hell": The summary that you included, which is also on Amazon, makes it sound like a collection of reviews and other essays, in which case we would want to list it as "Non-Fiction" instead of as a "Collection". Am I interpreting this right? As an aside, I'll mention that I enjoyed the various statements on your blog that "I'm probably not the Jo Walton you're looking for." I'll admit I was a bit confused by the name change, since I'm currently reading "My Real Children" by the *other* Jo Walton :-) Chavey 21:04, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

THANKS! Yes, Newb Maps of Hell is a collection of reviews & essays so it's in the right place. I guess the review of Mind Seed should be with the other reviews, since it's not really any longer or anything :)Jolwalton 07:42, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
Just FYI, the review was an essay (an so appeared in a different place on your author page) because, at the time of the entering of the issue of Interzone (by me), the anthology was not in the database so there was no record to which the review could be linked. Hauck 12:59, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

"Mind Seed" anthology

I accepted your submission for this anthology, although I had to replace the cover you submitted. That image was from Lulu, and we don't have their permission to deep link to one of their images. We do have that permission from Amazon, so I substituted an Amazon image for the Lulu one. I also added some additional data to the book, including the contents. Chavey 21:06, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

Mind Seed Review

Hello, I've approved your submission for "adding" this review (note that it's useless to submit the same data twice). There was some other changes to make (deleting the initial essay, deleting the corresponding title), I've made them. Note also that as this issue of Interzone was Primary Verified (in this case by me), you should have notified the verifier of the changes that you intended to make. Hauck 12:56, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
