Ann Martin (annmartin) | 4 comments My new book Creative Paper Quilling: Wall Art, Jewelry, Cards & More! has already been added on Goodreads, but I am having trouble including it on my author page: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
Thanks for any suggestions.

Cam (camthereader) | 608 comments Seems that there are other authors with the same name, so in the GR database, you're entered as Ann^^^Martin (^ means space). I'll edit the books for you.

Z-squared | 8575 comments Hi Ann,

Goodreads uses extra spaces to differentiate authors with otherwise identical names. You are Ann^^^Martin, where ^ is a space. The spaces don't appear on the book records or your author page, they are only used 'behind the scenes' when entering and editing book data. I have edited all the records of your book to include the extra spaces, and it now appears on your page. In the future, if you need to add more books, use Ann^^^Martin when creating new records. Or of course post here. :)

Z-squared | 8575 comments Sorry Cam, I made the changes before posting here, didn't think anyone else would be on it already.

Ann Martin (annmartin) | 4 comments Thanks so much for the speedy responses! I had a feeling my very common name was the problem.
