Paul Thomas Hi there, My name is Paul Thomas, and I am an author from Scotland. I've been messaging goodreads on and off for a few weeks now to try and tell them that I am not this author - https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

As they have added my book, https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... to this author's profile.

I've tried several times to ask goodreads to unlink this book from this authors page and put it on my own author page, which I am struggling to create.

Anyway, someone suggested I try the Libraians group.

Is there any chance someone can help me out please :)

My name is Paul Thomas from Glasgow.

So far I have only written one book. This is the book - (ISBN13: 9781514712993)

How do I get my own author page to show this book?

Many thanks in advance for anyones time and help if they can fix this.

Cheers,

Paul Thomas

Abcdarian | 26579 comments Book moved to a new profile. https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

If you wish to claim this profile, click the "Is this you? Let us know" link at the bottom of the page.


Paul Thomas Cheers mate.

Was it that easy lol

Many thanks.


Paul Thomas Tried to claim it, but Goodreads still have me linked to the other 'Paul Thomas' author profile.

This message comes up

Sorry, you are already in the author program as Paul Thomas and only one author profile may be claimed at a time. For more information

Is there any way to link my profile to the new author page without creating a new user profile?

Abcdarian | 26579 comments Hm, should have worked. Try here: https://www.goodreads.com/author/conf...

If that doesn't do it, I'm afraid you're back to contacting Support.

Abcdarian | 26579 comments I just found another copy of your book under the first author; that was probably the problem. Should be ok now-? Apologies for not checking before!

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments #4/5 - You cannot claim a new profile because you have already claimed one, which apparently was the default profile.

You will have to contact support to change which profile you are linked to. Not sure if you can, but you may be able to unlink the Author Profile, then request being linked to the other one.


Paul Thomas No worries.

I'll contact support, they usually take about a week to reply though. Might just be easier to create a new profile.

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments #8 - Yes, but then you would be the author of all those other books with your current profile, which you said you are not the author.

Rosalind James (rosalindjames) | 31 comments Hi--Could you please move my book (added by somebody else) to the correct author page? My author name is Rosalind [2 spaces] James. The book is this: FIERCE (Not Quite a Billionaire). I'm sure the bunny book lady will thank you! And so do I. :) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

It gets confusing when a thread linked to a specific book or author is also used for other books. I am closing this thread. Start new ones for other books.
