E.J. (ejmccay) | 7 comments I'm not sure what I did wrong, but I need my book added to my author profile. https://www.amazon.com/Charitable-Hea...

I hope I'm asking this correctly. I'm new to this.

The book was imported from Amazon to Goodreads. The author name was missing the periods after the initals. Author name has to be an exact match for books to show on the correct author profile.
When the book is on Goodreads, but not on your profile, you have to ask here to have it moved to your profile (as you did); not something you could have done yourself.

Moved the book to your profile: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

E.J. (ejmccay) | 7 comments Thank you so much! :) Am I allowed to change the profile here on Goodreads to match the books? With no periods after the initials?

Abcdarian | 26579 comments Sorry, no. Goodreads requires the periods, and no space between initials. It keeps things standard so the books are more easily sorted to the correct profiles.
