message 1: by Laurie (new)

Laurie Garrison  | 9 comments I can't figure out how to separate these two authors. They both have the same name but one if my friend so I know she didn't not write the book titled "After" I am thinking it will take a super librarian to separate them.
If someone can separate them or tell me how I would appropriate it.

Empress (the_empress) If you provide us with a link to the correct profile the book after should go we will do it. But currently I have no idea to which profile the book should be transferred.

The other author has no profile that I can find to add it to and I can't remember how to add it or I would. I looked on amazon and she has no other books.

I had my friend to add her blog link and update her photo so hopefully it will help separate them but with the same name it might not help at all.

Alexandra^(3)Webb with three empty spaces between the names.

Just FYI: https://www.goodreads.com/librarian_m...

What I did is add spaces in the name from the book edit page. Since we can disambiguate a GR profile.

John Wiltshire | 36 comments Hello, I need help separating my name from another author of the same name.
I am John Wiltshire who has written Love is a Stranger. Can this be separated from all other John Wiltshire books?

Nadia Kim (nadiakim33) | 10 comments Hello, I also need help to separate my author profile from another inactive author. Both of us are named Nadia Kim but I believe she uses her middle Initial Y. That would be great if that is added to hers. That way my books don't keep showing up on her profile. I have two books now that are under her profile and need to be added to mine instead. They are the Series Book of Truth. Links to books are below.
Also book 1 needs the cover added.

Nadia Kim (nadiakim33) | 10 comments Yes thanks.. Sorry for the double post. I figured perhaps this was the wrong place and forgot to delete it.

Thank you

Janice (citereh) | 2 comments This author is listed twice, with and without his middle initial. I hope I have reported this in the correct place.

Nicholas Basbanes Author of one book

Nicholas A. Basbanes Author of many books
