Jordan O'Donoghue (jodonoghue) | 2 comments Hi, I am having trouble getting my name changed on my author page. It's listed as J.A. O'Donoghue, but it needs to be J. A. O'Donoghue, with a space between the period after the J and the A. This is preventing me from having both my books under my name (Finding Grace and Stolen), because of that space putting out two pages and reference numbers, and I don't know if it affects any connection with media sites, since they all have that space as well.

free (frdn) | 5200 comments books moved to J.A. O'Donoghue (with no space between initials)

from librarian manual:
If an author uses initials in their name, the initials should contain NO spacing between them and be marked with a period. No spaces within the letters of a name.

Jordan O'Donoghue (jodonoghue) | 2 comments Thank you, I was just mostly concerned that my books were on different accounts. Is there a way I can prevent this with my next book?

Renske | 12347 comments If you add a new book you need to use the right name and it will be on your profile. If your book is added or imported with the wrong name you can ask in this group to move it to your profile.
