Tiffany W. (tiffanyw1218) | 3 comments I think a new topic category should be added on the discussion board: "Author Profile Updates/Issues/(etc)," because I found a few outdated or incomplete author profile pages.
I visited a few to find the links of their official websites, but some of them didn't even have a full introduction or a complete profile, missing either official websites or blog links or photos.

To name a few,

Sariah Wilson - missing official site link (http://www.sariahwilson.com/)
(https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...)

Susan Maupin Schmid - website link, profile information, photo (http://www.susanmaupinschmid.com/)
(https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...)

Katie M. Stout - link, photo, intro (http://one-page-reviews.blogspot.tw/)

Thank you!

lethe | 16359 comments Sariah Wilson is a Goodreads author. Librarians cannot edit claimed author profiles, that is the responsibility of the author themselves.

I added the URL to Susan Maupin Schmid's profile, but it won't open for me, so can't add biographical details.

The link for Katie M. Stout is her blog and already linked under 'Katie M. Stout's blog'. I don't know if we can add the URL as her official page. Her page says 'all rights reserved', so I don't know if we can copy anything from it.

General remark: photos of living authors can almost never be added due to copyright reasons. The author or photographer has to give explicit permission.

Thank you for the reminders :-)
