You rock my world! Thank you so much. :)
Hi! I have another one of these. Mona Opubor should be listed as Mona Zutshi Opubor. I don't think she has a goodreads author profile, but she's requested the name change and I can't change it, alas! Thanks in advance!
Yay! You're awesome. Thank you!
7 fixed. Goodreads uses extra spaces to disambiguate authors with otherwise identical names. The extra spaces arent visible on the book or author pages, they're only visible on the edit page and are used 'behind the scenes' in the Goodreads database to direct books to the right author profiles. To link that book to the correct Stephanie Thornton, you needed to enter the author as Stephanie^^Thornton (where ^ is a space). There wasn't really an obvious way to know this ahead of time, but when I've encountered this problem in the past and I wasn't sure how to enter the name correctly, I just added a space one at a time until it appeared on the right author's profile.

When I set up this book, a couple of the authors linked to the wrong authors of the same name. I believe that since I'm listed as an author of this book, I can't change it, and need someone else to do it? I'd be very grateful if someone could help out!
The authors in question:
AP Sessler needs to go to A.P. Sessler (https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...)
Recle E Vibal needs to go to Recle Etino VIbal (https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...)
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help out. :)
