   Hello. I am having the same problem as many of the above authors. My novel "Inside The Fire" is attributed to another Bill Morris, one born in 1952. Here is the ISBN # 0692253114. As this is my first novel I do not yet have an Author page.

     I have moved your book to a new author profile https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
      I have moved your book to a new author profile https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...If you would like to claim this profile there is a link at the bottom of that page ("Is this you? Let us know."). Your name has 2 spaces (Bill^^Morris) to differentiate it from the other author.
 This book Visiting Hours https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
      This book Visiting Hours https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...has the author listed as Amy Butcher which is correct. Call this Amy#1
Unfortunately, is not the same Amy Butcher who has this author profile
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
Call this Amy #2
Is it possible to remove Visiting Hours from Amy #2 listing?
 I would like to ask for help removing a book from my profile that is written by another author of the same name. The book entitled, 'Packaged' written by Angela Graham and S.E. Hall was not authored by me. Thank you.

     Two issues: First, on my author page (J.M. Mitchell) there are 3 books attributed to me that are not mine, and I did not post them. The incorrect ones are: Bourbon Penn Issue 1; International Cultural Relations; and Arkansas Melody and Other Poems. How do I get these removed? Second, I was putting my second novel (The Height of Secrecy, which is released next month) onto my page, and it would not allow me to put in the ISBN because it is supposedly already in the system (as, Height of Secrecy by J. Mitchell, and I did not post it). So, how do I get this erroneous entry (title and author incorrect) removed so that I can update my page with the ISBN? Thx.

All except "You Too Can Be Free."
 Hi,
      Hi,The "Viennese Romance" novel's author is David Vogel, but the David Vogel who wrote "Married Life". It seems there is another author named David Vogel, and he is wrongfully listed as the author of Viennese Romance. How can I correct it?
Thanks!
 Re: 68- Book moved under the correct David Vogel. We separate the authors with the same name by adding additonal spaces between their names. The David Vogel who wrote Married Life and Vienese Romance has 2 spaces between his name and surname while the other has 1.

 Thank you Utopian.

     71: Moved to the right profile and added to the series. Your profile has 2 spaces between the names (Chloe^^Walsh) to differentiate it from the other same name author. If you add the extra space your books should go to the right place. But we can always move them. :-)

     "Iranian Cinema in a Global Context" appears as a book I authored on my author page (https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...), but it's by a different Blake Atwood. A fix would be appreciated!

Thanks for separating my publications from those by the author of "You Too Can Be Free," but there may have been some partial misunderstanding: my books are still listed as being by "James Henry Taylor Jr." (author of "You Too Can Be Free"),but my name is "James Henry Taylor" (NO Jr.).
Thanks again for your help.
 76 fixed. Or not. Now on https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... On the assumption all of these are yours I will request that the profile be combined with yours. If any books don't belong, please post again.

     Thanks for getting the "Jr." problem straightened out. There's still one other thing, though: these stories don't show up on my author page. The only story of mine that's listed there is "Kite Kills Kenneth Kendall." Can I fix this myself, or does a librarian need to do it?

 I have just created an author page and it has included books by other authors with the same name. Please could someone remove all books except "Room in your heart" which is mine.

 #91 - Done.
      #91 - Done.Changed Author to "James^^Grey" where ^=space.
BTW, you will get books added to your profile from imports or by users that only put 1 space between the names, for any Author with your name, since you only have 1 space.
Pretty quick fix for us, so just post here anytime it happens.
