Laura Morrigan (lauramorrigan) | 3 comments Hi, my name is Laura Morrigan, I was recently published in the Perspectives anthology, isbn 9781921364532 however goodreads automatically credited this to another lady called Laura Morrigan this lady here: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

I cannot find any way to remove this from her profile and create my own author profile! Please help me, as a new author, it is important my writing is credited to myself not another!

Laura Morrigan (lauramorrigan) | 3 comments I looked it up and it looks like a goodreads librarian can fix this for me, by separating the books out and creating a new author profile for me, so please help me, I would really appreciate it!

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments Laura,

Can you confirm that the Perspectives anthology is your only book so far? Moving that book now anyway :)

To make items add to your profile automatically you will need to add TWO spaces between your first and last names, i.e. Laura^^Morrigan, where ^ is a space.

This has no effect on searching or display, it just serves to disambiguate you from the other Laura Morrigan. If you need books moved in future, it's really helpful if you can tell us that you have two spaces :)

To claim your GR Author profile, follow this link: https://www.goodreads.com/author/conf...

Kate | 1 comments Hi
I've had the same problem my book 'Bestowed' has been posted under a different Kate Bishop.


I couldn't find the ISBN.

PS Kate Bishop is my nome de plume

Hello, sorry, only just found this, didn't show in my updates. Thank you so much for fixing it! It is my only book so far, but I hope to have more in the future!
