Two failed attempts to get set up as an author.

[John]

Hi, I've made two attempts in the last six days to get my profile updated to Author status. My new book, "Torch Day", is listed in GoodReads, but I am still awaiting the ability to claim it. I have twice filled out the desired information, including listing the six other books tagged with "John Windsor" as *not* being mine, but I'm still only listed as a reader.

What do I need to do to claim my authorship?

Thanks!

Is that your only book John? I've moved it to a new author profile: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... You can try claiming that one; as it has only your book, it should go through a bit faster.

If any others are yours we can move them as well.

Thanks so much for your quick help! Yes, that's my only book on GoodReads (so far).

Now, how do I merge that with my Reader account?

[Abcdarian]

When your author claim goes through, it will merge automatically with your reader account.

Okay, I *think* I've caught on :)

So I've just submitted the same form for a third time. Anything else I need to do? I have a big promo hitting this weekend and I'd really like for this to be all set before then.

Thanks for your help!

If you don't hear by then, I can only suggest sending an email to support (at goodreads dot com). Librarians can't really do anything about the situation. Best of luck!

Thanks again. I really appreciate your help!
