2 authors, Same name

[Laura]

There are 2 Susan Kaye in Goodreads, one is a Jane Austen writer, the other writes about Colorado. However the latter, has Jane Austen ebooks in her profile that belong to the other Susan Kaye.

Here is the Jane Austen writer's webpage where you can see her ebooks/short stories and her 2 novels.

The ebooks need to be moved to from here

How do I do this? I'm a Librarian but I haven't found the info telling me how.

TIA

GR disambiguates using extra spaces in the name.

The former is Susan^Kaye and the latter is Susan^^Kaye (^ stands for space).

So you need to add a space for the books that belong with the latter.

Hello, I have a similar question and am also a Librarian who hasn't managed how to differentiate between two authors of the same name. How can I see what the spaces in a name are?

Transformed needs to be moved from here: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
to here: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

thanks very much!

Perhaps there is a better way, but what I do is I edit one of the books and see how many spaces there are.

I'll try that, thank you!

#1: Laura, you have to make the change on all editions of each book. Fixed.
