message 1: by Sarah (new)

Sarah | 69 comments Hi, sorry but this happens every time I publish and I know I can't fix it or claim the book. Can you please transfer this book Pursuing to me Sarah Curtis and combine it with this version of the same book Pursuing Thank you so very much. Again sorry you need to go through this every time I publish. Any ideas on how to prevent this from happening in the future or is it just something I will always need to do?

Anastasia (tdallonsy) | 301 comments Fixed. Books combined.
On GoodReads you are "Sarah^^Curtis" where ^ represents a space. As far as I know, by default the system will add books to the Sarah Curtis with one space in the name. So you'll just have to keep an eye out on whenever you publish. Give a shoutout to one of the librarians and we'll fix it for you.

Sarah | 69 comments Thank you so much ♥ I'll be back in about 6 months LOL ☺


message 4: by Alison (new)

Alison | 28 comments I love that I found a thread with my same problem. Always! Ugh. Can a librarian please help me claim my new book. I try to add it before someone else does, but I missed it this time. This new book is mine, not the other "Alison Stone." Thank you.

Anastasia (tdallonsy) | 301 comments All should be fixed up now, Alison.


message 7: by Alison (new)

Alison | 28 comments Thanks so much, Anastasia. Sometimes I think I should have used a middle initial. Oh well.

Just ran through the other "Alison Stone." Just one anthology that is actually mine was missed:

Michael Chambers | 40 comments I'm having the same problem. This isn't showing under my dashboard, probably because someone added it before I could. Should be listed under Michael^^^Chambers

Michael Clark (michaeltclark) | 3 comments Hi there! I'm so appreciative that this group exists. I'm having the same issue: My Goodreads Author Profile is Michael T. Clark to distinguish from Michael Clark, but my books are published as Michael Clark, so they end up under the wrong author profile. Could you please work your magic so that this book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
is attributed to this author profile: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
Thank you so much!

message 21: by Natalie (new)

Natalie West | 2 comments I'm having the exact same problem. My name is Natalie West and I wrote the book 'Sparks and Ashes.' It is my only book. Whenever I try to claim it as my own, I'm unable to separate it from a list of books written by another Natalie West.

Can someone please help me? The only book that should be under/linked to my profile is the following:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

None of the rest are mine.

Thank you so much!!! :)


message 22: by David (new)

David Bernstein | 15 comments Hello, My name is David^^^Bernstein and there are two books that are under the wrong David Bernstein. Could you please change them.
A Mixed Bag of Blood (2 editions, use the first link as the cover photo as the other is a limited edition. It's a hand holding a blood bag) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

The other book that is also mine with 3 spaces between first and last name is Machines of the Dead 3. You'll see the parts 1 and 2 are under my name. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Thank you!

Cheryl Klein | 3 comments Hi there, I'm Cheryl B. Klein, and my new book THE MAGIC WORDS is being assigned to Cheryl Klein.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Could you please transfer ownership of it to me? Many thanks.


message 28: by Scott (new)

Scott Neil | 2 comments Hello,

I have the reverse problem. A book that includes a foreword by a different Scott Neil has been added to my authorship list.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Can it be removed?
Many thanks.

message 33: by Michael (new)

Michael Hale | 1 comments I had the same problem with my new book. I wrote the author with the same name as me and asked him to take his name off. He did and now it is letting me set myself up so I can be the author on my own book. North Wind
