Karen Carlisle (karenjcarlisle) | 11 comments I tried to add my new books today but found they have been 'acquired' by a duplicate author page (Karen J Carlisle - but this is not my author page). I cannot add my two new paperback titles to my own author page as a result. This page also has acquired one of my ebooks.
Is there any way to add MY books to my author page? Karen J. Carlisle (https://www.goodreads.com/KarenJCarlisle)
Does this happen often?

This happens regularly when books that are imported by Goodreads don't use the same exact spelling for the author name.

Arenda | 26455 comments Also created a series for the books: https://www.goodreads.com/series/1887...

Arenda | 26455 comments Different editions of the same book should be combined, that also means that reviews left on one edition will be visible on both editions.

As the author, you have the ability to change which edition of the book is the default, which will come up in searches by title and show on your author profile.
How to set the default edition.
