Eric Schaller | 4 comments My profile https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
currently only has the book I signed up with (Meet Me in the Middle of the Air), but none of the other books for which I am an author (11 actual from the search for Eric Schaller, only The Return of the Unicorns by George Schaller is NOT mine). How do I get these to add to my author profile? thanks--Eric

Dobby (dobby0390) | 7953 comments Eric, it looks like your author profile is Eric^^Schaller (where ^ represents a space). This is an easy fix, but it will take some time since you didn't list the individual books. I'll post an update when I've finished so you can review.

ETA: Done
Take a look and see if I got them all:

If any are missing, please note them by title and we'll get them fixed.

B.J. Smith | 13 comments Hi. I'm having some difficulty adding "Miles to Go: An Alzheimer Journal" (ebook and print editions) to my author profile. Both are already entered in Goodreads but I can't claim them as my own.

There are some other B.J. Smiths, but the book mentioned above and the "Blood Solutions" book that does appear on my profile are the only two titles that are mine. Can you help me out or point me to the right place? Thanks. ~ B.J.

Eric Schaller | 4 comments Thanks for adding those extra titles to my author profile (https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...) and managing it so quickly!

Looking around there appears to be another empty profile for me on Goodreads that may have been created as part of a Goodreads bookgroup discussion on The Time Traveler's Almanac (discussion at: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...) (extraneous profile: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...). I don't know if this could be the reason for the original glitch in having the books not show up. The Time Traveler's Almanac itself just lists the editors and not all the authors. Can we eliminate the empty profile?

That is the one-space profile your books had ended up on. Now it is empty, it will be deleted by a script in due course (don't know why you didn't get the one-space profile to begin with, but there you go).

Eric Schaller | 4 comments Can we convert mine to the one space profile afterwards, so that books appear automatically? (I assume they won't if my name is listed with two spaces)

I requested a merge so that you can have the currently-empty single space profile. https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
