Ernesto Pavan | 3 comments Hi everyone,

I just created my author page. I only published one book so far, but since I also work as a translator, the page also lists all the books I've translated, since I am the "co-author" of those. However, I'd like the page to list only the books that I've written myself. Is there a way to do that?

lethe | 16359 comments No. The profile page should display all the books you have contributed to.

You are identified as translator on those; the books you have authored directly will appear first on the list.

lethe | 16359 comments Do you have a middle name/initial? If you do, perhaps you could maintain two profiles, this one for your own books and one with middle initial/name for the translations. I think that would be allowed (but rivka, being the mod, has the final say).

That is true. However, the problem is that I write mostly fantasy and horror, and I'd like not to be associated as an author with the books I translate(d), which are mostly erotica and romance. Not that I'm ashamed of anything; I'd just like to keep my two careers separate.
