message 1: by Stevie (new)

Stevie Edwards (stevietheclumsy) | 5 comments I keep being incorrectly tagged as the author in genre fiction series "Hot Commodity" by Sandra Edwards. I keep having to ask other librarians to remove me as the author and have attempted to contact the author and asked not to be tagged, yet this behavior persists. Is there any way to block someone from tagging me as the author?

Thanks,

Stevie (definitely not Sandra) Edwards

Arenda | 26447 comments Goodreads separates author profiles with the same name by adding one or more spaces between first and last name.
Your profile is the 'default' Stevie Edwards. Any books that are imported by Goodreads, from Amazon or other sources, will end up on your profile, as the import can't distinguish which author profile is correct. It is not intentionally 'tagging' behaviour.

The other Stevie Edwards is listed as co-author, with Sandra Edwards, on the cover of these books.

A way to prevent this would be for you to contact GR Support, and ask if they can move you from the default Stevie Edwards profile. This would prevent those books added to your profile.
