Daniel Ferguson | 7 comments I've made my own author page, and I've made the page for the book I'm in, but they don't link to one another. For example, when I click on my own name, Daniel Ferguson, it takes me to ALL Daniel Ferguson's on Goodreads (except myself).

What's going on?

The short story anthology that I'm published in is https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2....

Catalina | 2066 comments To differentiate you from all the other authors with the same name, there are 2 spaces between your name: Daniel^^Ferguson instead of just one. So each time you add a book of yours, you must add 2 spaces between your names for the upload to be made on the correct profile.
I moved the book for you, it should appear on your profile in a bit.


Daniel Ferguson | 7 comments Thanks! Or, as we say in Australia: cheers!


Daniel Ferguson | 7 comments Okay, so my group - the other authors in this project - are in need of the same thing. Does this mean I put two spaces between each word of their names? S. Eliot Brandis as well?

Abcdarian | 26579 comments I don't see a problem with any of the other authors; clicking on each name takes me to an author page where either this is the only book they are associated with or they are Australian/New Zealand writers who I assume are correctly associated with it, so they don't need any changes.

The only exception might be Tony Owens. If there is a problem with his, a goodreads librarian can separate his profile.


Daniel Ferguson | 7 comments That appears to be the case so far. I hope that means it's all working fine. *is so new to this*
