For romance authors: accurate book information

Provide title, author names, original publication date, series name and position, publisher, edition identifiers and official links. Keep paperback, ebook and audiobook details separate, including narrator and audio release date where relevant.

Book data and author identity
A credited author name and official links identify a catalogue contributor. They do not establish ownership of an EIKNA author profile or verify a member account. Those checks remain separate.
The structured export follows the Eikna Romance → EIKNA semantic contract. Canonical EIKNA genre and trope IDs will be mapped from the live taxonomy when supplied; near-duplicate labels and unsupported classifications will not be sent as verified facts.
