J.N. Bedout (jndebedout) | 10 comments Please add the following title to my author profile. I cannot find any links to do it myself. I suspect it's because the Goodreads listing shows my author name without the dots.

Published: August 13, 2016
Formats: paperback and ebook
Page count: 420 pages (paperback), 485 pages (ebook per Amazon)

J.N. Bedout (jndebedout) | 10 comments Also, I noticed my profile shows my name incorrectly. I tried to edit it but it says I don't have permission.

The changes are:
1) Add a space between my initials. Instead of "J.N." it should be "J. N." with a space between the "J." and the "N."
2) My last name is "de Bedout", not "Bedout". The "de" is shown as an extension of my "name" or middle name. So, for example, the "sort name" is showing as "bedout, J.N. de", but it should be "de Bedout, J. N." (with spaces between "J." and "N."

I defer to you if you think the above name change requests don't make any sense. I'm just hoping that my 3rd book will get attached seamlessly next time.

Thanks!

Created the Kindle edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

Also created a series for both books: https://www.goodreads.com/series/1868...

1. GR policy is to have no space between initials in author names.

2. Librarians can't change Goodreads author profiles. When you can't change the sort name yourself, you can contact Goodreads Support. Staff can correct GR author names.

I'm just hoping that my 3rd book will get attached seamlessly next time.
When there is a space between initials on Amazon, books that are imported by Goodreads from Amazon will probably not end up on your profile.
You can prevent it by adding the book yourself, before it can be imported from Amazon, when you have the isbn or ASIN.
Or just ask here in the Librarian Group. Moving a book to the correct author profile is no problem.
