   #201-203 It might be a better idea to ask Support to remove you from the default (one-space) profile. How many of the books/which books on your profile are actually yours?

      Matt, I believe you are already in contact via email with Goodreads Support. Please follow up with them.

This is the author profile for that book: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... If you would like to claim that profile, here is the form: https://www.goodreads.com/author/conf... When the claim is approved it will merge with your current reader profile page.

      This bookhttp://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20...
is listed under Alice W. Flaherty, but it was written by Alice E. Flaherty, author of this other book
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/49...
I thought for a moment there was a book by Alice Weaver Flaherty I hadn’t read, what a disappointment! :D

Book moved. Thanks for posting and sorry for the disappointment. :-)
Edit: Merged 3 Alice/Alice Weaver/Alice W. Flaherty profiles and added data.

 There are two different authors by the name of Elizabeth Kelly on Goodreads. One of them wrote the series The Shifters. There are two separate entries for that series, one attributed to each author, specifically with the third book, found in these two places: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

This series (and possibly other books) may need to be checked and attributed to the correct Elizabeth Kelly.

      Renske wrote: "213 There are even 5 authors with that name. I moved several books to the right profiles."Thank you. The only remaining issue I can see is that there are still 2 separate entries for the series The Shifters (though both attributed to the same author now). One has all 3 books in the series, the other only book 3, found here:

 Hi there!
      Hi there!I'm an editor of this recently added anthology:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/32...
Currently, this book is linked to another author with the same name (Kyle Richardson).
Appreciate any help correcting this, in advance.
Thanks!

 #217 Done. It would be helpful, in future, if you mentioned that you are the 2-space author (meaning there are 2 spaces between your first and last name for GR disambiguation, i.e. Kyle^^Richardson).

from this: https://images.gr-assets.com/books/14...
to this: https://images.gr-assets.com/books/14...
Note the missing subtitle. Currently, the first of these is the cover appearing on amazon for the paperback, so I have reverted this change. The ebook has the second cover. Can you shed some light on which is the correct cover for each and whether any copies of this book (e.g. ARCs) have been distributed with either?

 Hi, this book Dust to Dust appears in the author profile of the Rob Grant who wrote Fat / Incompetence / Red Dwarf (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Grant) but was written by a different Rob Grant (https://robgrant.me.uk/portfolio/)

Hi
Above two books are by the same author, but the author name was spelled differently.
Would it be possible to change one of them, so they are the same?
Thanks so much
 #231 changed both, 1 got a space and 1 left a space so it's the normal one space profile at the moment

 I was wondering if you could help me, I designed a book cover and they put me down as book illustrator, but now the book shows up on my Goodreads and widget on my website as the author. The book is The Wedding Pact.

     Hi, my books were just moved under another author's name. They used to be listed under my actual name (that's how they're listed on Amazon as well) so not sure what happened.

 #243 - Not sure why your name was removed, but the Pen name is required to be primary since that is what they were released under. Since you requested your real name to be added to the books, I have done that as a 2nd author.

 Hello! My latest novel, Dawn of War III, has the wrong author, it's listed as having been written by "Robbie" and "MacNiven" (two separate accounts unrelated to me) instead of the single "Robbie MacNiven" - me.
