We use extra spaces to separate authors with the same name, so your profile is Chris^^Foster (with ^ = space). I moved the books to your profile and also an other edition of another book of you.To prevent an automatic import adds your book to the other profile, you can add it manually with the ISBN or ASIN before it is imported. But asking this group to move a book is also fine, it is not a difficult task to do.
Good Morning, I need to have a book added to my author page as it is showing up under a different author with the same name. The book title is The Sleeping Flower and it needs to be on my author page with my existing book Laurel Hill: New Beginnings Book 1. Thank you for your help,
Hello Erin,Done. Please be aware, for future reference, that yours is the 2-space profile, meaning there are 2 spaces between your first and last name (i.e. Erin^^Mackey).
These spaces need to be added for a book to be properly placed on your profile.
When making requests like this, it would be very helpful if you include this information.
I have also edited the title of the New Beginnings book, in accordance with GR standards (i.e. series title in parenthesis).
Thank you Alex for your help. Have a great day.
Hello!I am Jerry Sarh and want my book " Poverty and Coup d’État in Africa" to be added to my profile/author page.Thank You.
#6 You posted from a reader profile, rather than an author profile. You may want to claim Jerry Sarkwah or Jerry Sarh (or both) as your author page.As for the book, you did not link it, but your reader profile image suggests it is Poverty And Coup D'etat In Africa. The cover says the author is "Jerry Sarkwah", so that's where I moved it.
Is it possible to get an old book with multiple contributing authors updated so that I can list it on my author page?Book is Operations Support Systems: Solutions and Strategies for the Emerging Network ( ISBN-13: 978-1931695190 )
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
My chapter starts on page 67
Full table of contents is at: https://books.google.co.il/books?id=p...
#8 I added you as a contributor. Do you know who the editor was? Can you supply a picture/scan of the cover?
Hi David,The editor is listed as the International Engineering Consortium.
Where should I send the cover image? (Taken from Google: https://books.google.co.il/books?id=p... )
We can't use images from google. These are the acceptable sources for book covers and other book data
I have the original spiral version and a jpg of the cover, but can not find it on any of the acceptable sites. Even Amazon does not show it. Is there somewhere / somehow I can share it?
Ok, as I can post it on my author page and have that be legit, here is the link (it is the top book).http://www.ericlklein.com/non-fiction/
Hmm, correct me if I'm wrong but that seems like the google cover, copied to your website. We can use "An individual user's scans or photos, taken of books they own or have in their possession". So for being nitpicky, but that's more or less the job description.
Sorry, had to wait until I got home from work to photograph and upload the actual cover (with spiral binding) image. Try this one nowhttp://www.ericlklein.com/non-fiction/
Also, now seeing my name on the book but not the book on my author page. Any idea how I can add it there too?
Thanks,
Eric
#18 Going to answer on the other thread.
Hello!David sorry to worry you,please add Jerry Sarkwah author page to Jerry Yaw as one and leave Jerry Sarh as reader page.

Moved the book to your profile: https://www.goodreads.com/author/list...
Hello beloved Librarians. I'm a new author - Kevin A. Kuhn. My profile is out there and my book "Do You Realize?" is under it. However, my publisher recently added a Kindle edition. Now there is a Kevin Kuhn version of a paperback and a Kindle edition. I need help merging all three of these under my Kevin A. Kuhn profile. In the end it should be one book, with a Paperback and a Kindle edition under my Kevin A. Kuhn profile. Whew - thanks.
#25 Done, and queued the extra edition for deletion.I presume other books by Kevin Kuhn are not by you.
#25 You might want to remove the librarian note from your profile.
My first book "Day at the Park" is written WITH my husband but the person who added this book to Goodreads has lumped our names together (Anna & Paul Hawkins) so I can't claim the book on my Author profile. Is it possible to edit the authors names on that book, split them into two different authors (Anna Hawkins, Paul Hawkins) so my husband and I can both claim our work on Goodreads?https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
"Day at the Park" and our other book "Into the Walberkin Woods" are both part of a series: The Summer Break Kids.
I don't think Paul has set up his Author profile yet but I will remind him. ;)
Thank you very much!
Hello Librarians,I have not yet been approved for my author dashboard but I am the co-writer/illustrator for these two books (with above poster, Anna Hawkins):
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
I'm having a hard time finding out where exactly to request my Author status because my books have been default assigned to another author of the same name. I have changed my display name to include my middle initial. Paul J Hawkins.
Thank you in advance for your help

Also moved the books to a new 'Paul Hawkins' profile (there are multiple authors with this name): https://www.goodreads.com/author/list...
If he wants to claim his profile, he can follow this link: https://www.goodreads.com/author/conf...
ETA: also created a series: https://www.goodreads.com/series/1999...
(Series can be numbered, but don't need to.)
Thank you so much! I have followed instructions.

I have moved your books to a new author profile: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
The link to claim your profile is here: https://www.goodreads.com/author/conf...
If you'd rather have Paul J. Hawkins, I can add the initial.
My books are listed on Amazon and all our marketing items as Paul Hawkins (no middle initial) so it would be best to keep it consistent. Thank you, really appreciate all your help.

Thanks Renske! :)
My latest books
'Of A Dark Heart' by Chris Foster 1539001849
and
'First Chapter Compendium: A complete starter kit bundle filled with fantasy and poetry' 9781311729729
are not showing as mine, despite having the correct author name. Could someone please help me get them added to my author profile?
Is there some way of future proofing myself so this doesn't happen with the new books getting released later this year?
Thank you in advance :)
