Sarah | 69 comments Happy New Year,

My book, Enchanting: An Alluring Novella has been credited to the wrong Sarah Curtis.

Also can you combine the addition I added and the addition Amazon added. Here are both links...

Thank you so much in advance. :D

Arenda | 26447 comments Moved the book to your profile.

The combine function is down at the moment due to maintenance. I'll merge the duplicate edition once it is working again.

Abcdarian | 26579 comments Not yet. Edit: Merge requires a Super; I've requested in the right thread. Combined for now.

Tony Lovell | 2 comments Several books have been inaccurately credited to me (author Tony Lovell). The only books that should be under my credit are both the paperback and the Kindle versions of Bedbug's Writing: A Collection of Short Stories + Poetry, Volume One.

The following books should NOT be credited to me:
The Horror Anthology of Horror Anthologies

Because of What Happened

The First Book of Classical Horror Stories

Cern ZooNull Immortalis

The Monster Book for Girls


Please correct this issue and remove the incorrect titles from my credit and provide them to the correct Tony Lovell contributor.

Thanks!

Can you confirm that you did not submit any stories to the above anthologies?

EDIT: Done: https://www.goodreads.com/author/list...

Yes, I did not submit any stories to the anthologies. I reviewed the titles associated with the author with the same name as me, and I did not write them.

Thank you for the correction!

Sarah | 69 comments Hi, it's me again. My latest release got credited to the wrong author again. Here's my link to the book... https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

And your link from Amazon... https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...


☕ Lachgas ♿  (lachgas) | 9386 comments #13 moved and combined with the ebook
do you only publish via kindle? (becaue ebook is a different format and means digital books by other publisher than amazon)
And that's normal behaviour - bots usually adding the books with 1 space between first and last name - as you have the 2 space profile the do not land in your profile.
You could only avoid that by getting the bot to add to Sarah^^Curtis (and I only once read that someone somehow managed that) or if you add the ASIN to the book as soon as you see it - and before the bot uses it to add the missing book.

I'll try adding the ASIN next time as soon as I see it go live. I don't usually do preorders so that may be a bit tricky. Thank you for fixing it for me and for combining :D


☕ Lachgas ♿  (lachgas) | 9386 comments yeah, you have to be quite fast - most likely, although I sometimes could add ASIN a few days after official publication as the weren't already imported ... but more often a day too late was too late.

The ebook edition should be kindle? I would ask super librarians for a merge then (too many shelvings for normal librarians)

Yes, it is only on Amazon and available on KU, so a merge would be great if it's not too much trouble.


☕ Lachgas ♿  (lachgas) | 9386 comments I asked for it here https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
may take a little while until a super has time but normally they are quite fast - should be done within the next days

Thank you :D


☕ Lachgas ♿  (lachgas) | 9386 comments #19 it's merged :) (can take a while until the ratings settled - due to caching, but no review will be lost)
