I put two spaces before her last name, as a one space belong to the comic artist Lee Weeks, so it's 'Lee Weeks' instead of 'Lee Weeks'. Check the Librarian Manual for the complete guide.

If you have photos or scans you have taken of a book in your possession, you can add them to your More Photos section (https://www.goodreads.com/photo/new) and then link to them here.

I hope I'm putting this in the right place (it appears so given the headline). My books"The Feral Breed: Files of the BPRC" as well as the sequel, "Wolves on a Wire" have the wrong author attributed to them. We're both apparently named Timothy Knight (now I REALLY wish I'd used a pen name). But my content is listed as his (as he appears a bit more successful than me, I'm sure he'd like a bit of separation between our work as well).
How can we sort this?

Thanks!
Timothy Knight (the less successful [but very hopeful] one) ^_^

Hello! My book is showing under the wrong Emma Peterson.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

Is this something you can correct for me, please? (Is there any way to avoid this in the future? Just curious.) Also, the book is #2 in a series, Harborview Immortals. Is this something you can help with or do I need to wait until I can edit it myself? Thank you very much for helping!

#177 Moved the book to your profile and added it to the series.

Authors can't add books to series, so you'll have to ask when you need a book added to a series.

Goodreads uses extra spaces between first and last name to separate profiles of authors with the same name. When books are imported (f.e. from Smashwords or Amazon) they end up on the one-space Emma Peterson profile.
A way to prevent this would be that you add the book to your profile yourself when you have the isbn, and prevent the import because the book is already on Goodreads.
Once the book is on GR but not on your profile, a librarian has to move the book.

they are: Merlin's Weft and Merlin's Shuttle
and should be linked to me https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
My book, Merlin's Knot, is shown twice, once properly to me and once to the other Mark Andersen (but with the reviews on the one pointing to the wrong Mark Andersen). Please point all three of these books to me.

That would be a caching problem, might take a little while for them to show up.

Matt, while I'm sure some of these books aren't yours, the celebrity ones are surely ones you've written.

Goodreads does not remove books just because they are out of print or have been revised. Readers like to have the copy they have read on their shelves.

They are 2 different people.

Haruo Satō 1892-1964 wrote poems, biography, fiction

Haruo Sato writes engineering, earth sciences & seismology

Not sure why but your link to the poet name above is blank.

You can create a new profile for him & attach his books to the right name if you like, and if you have any doubts or problems just post here again :)
