Would that be shown for all books or is this something specific to series?

I provided an update on this issue 5 days ago, but it's still showing as waiting. Is there additional info you're waiting for?

I don't understand what the creator field on the book would have to do with series. I'm not sure what would need to be implemented here

ok, creator field on a book is probably the better fit than on a series.

Does adding them as a second author not work? (such as Robert Jordan for the Wheel of Time books that Brandon Sanderson wrote)
