Christa綺思 (dolldalera) | 727 comments 101 done. Did the 3rd part of 102, though the first and fourth one were already fixed. Unsure as to how to go about doing the second. Help?

message 106: by Starla (new)

Starla Huchton (riznphnx) | 3 comments Hello, I'm still having the issue of Goodreads not adding the second author to my books. I'm writing under a pen name and added my real name to the original entry, but it's still not showing up. This has been changed in the original print edition, but the ebook entries aren't linked to the print and only show one author name.

Correct book:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17...

Needs correcting (and linking to print edition):
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18...

These should show as S. A. Huchton, Starla Huchton as author. Not sure why Goodreads isn't saving this when I create the original entry.

Thanks for your help!

Hi Starla,

I've managed to combine the three editions of your book. However, I was also unable to add a second author (it might be a technical issue).

The reason is that the names too close/similar to add. I've used a workaround and the names are now fixed.

Could you please correct Author name from "Debra a. Harkins" to "Debra A. Harkins" for my book
Beyond the Campus: Building a sustainable university-community collaboration.

My book is not showing up under "My books" due to the small initial on middle name.
