Can't add new book to my author page

[Lisa]

I have been trying for a ridiculous amount of time to update my author info. My newest story "Midnight Mix-up" is in the Goodreads database, but I can't find a way to put in on my page. I've accidentally created three "generic" versions of the book, so those need to be deleted. I want to have the true version with cover picture showing in my author profile and on my author page. Also, it looks like there is an extra space between "Lisa" and "Lewis" in the top field of the author profile. I don't remember doing that, so I don't know if the "system" did it because there are multiple authors with my name. Either way, I couldn't correct it. If I tried to correct the spacing, the system wouldn't take any of my edits. Thanks for any help with these things...

hey can you confirm you only have one space between your name on your profile?

[Mella]

okay nevermind i figured out how to check without trying to edit it. i couldn't see it from the first bit of the profile. so i've deleted the blank ones. problem was your name has two spaces and the version of your book already there didn't - so it was just a matter of adding an extra space on the existing version. trick was to edit the book rather than your profile.

oh and yes - the system apparently just keeps adding spaces to distinguish between authors with the same name.

"The system" doesn't do it; librarians and Goodreads staff do. See https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/2...
