lethe | 16359 comments #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 Green | 6 comments all of them instead the listed ones....... and what is one-space profile?

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.

Maricruz | 2 comments This book

http://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.

message 212: by Caroline (new)

Caroline | 9 comments 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...
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.

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:

https://www.goodreads.com/series/1886...

Kyle Richardson (kylerichardson) | 3 comments 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!

— Kyle


message 217: by Alex (new)

Alex | 2736 comments #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).

A question though; there had been a cover change performed on this book
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?


message 219: by Alex (new)

Alex | 2736 comments #219 Done. Also added to the series (non-primary).

Marie (mariemeyer) | 4 comments I recently noticed that my forthcoming title is listed under the wrong author (said author and I have the same name: Marie Meyer).

LIVE OUT LOUD: ISBN 1455542776 (ISBN13: 9781455542772)

Should be listed under my author profile: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Thanks so much,
Marie Meyer

Melissa (cardinalchang) | 5 comments 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/)

Bummer though, I got excited for a minute there.
Cheers :)

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


message 231: by ☕ Lachgas ♿ (new)

☕ Lachgas ♿  (lachgas) | 9386 comments #231 changed both, 1 got a space and 1 left a space so it's the normal one space profile at the moment

Here's the Amazon page to confirm that I am indeed the author.

Natalie Bennett (nat_bennett) | 3 comments 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.

Here is the first one, the second book in the trilogy is also moved under their name.

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

The second book is Sordid Mistress.

Thanks.

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments #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.

Are there any other books under the below profile that should also be on your page?

Karen Gregory | 4 comments Hello, I'm Karen Gregory, author of Countless. There are currently four books associated with me but only Countless is mine. Please could the following books be taken from my author profile?

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Kimono Girl is the title of a book I wrote but has never been published. Is it possible to remove this altogether?

Thank you!

Robbie MacNiven | 1 comments 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.

Moved the two books that are not yours. I believe you will have to contact Support to have the never-published one removed.
