Sue Russell (suerussell) | 20 comments Thanks, Cassandra. I could see "add book" but wasn't sure what might happen to the parts that should remain! Best, Sue

Jonathan Miles | 1 comments Opposite problem: My new book is attributed to another author with the same name.

Here's the book:

Here's who it should be attached to (me):

Many thanks.

This is my author profile: https://www.goodreads.com/author/dash...

For this book:

I'm the translator, not the author, and would prefer not to have it listed as a book of mine.

Thanks

Sylvia, links to your dashboard won't work for anyone but you.

And you are correctly listed as the translator on that book, so it will not be removed.

☕ Lachgas ♿  (lachgas) | 9386 comments #421 it would probably be smarter to give you a different spaced profile instead of removing nearly all books on a common name profile I assume

Sarah, that second link is to one of your bookshelves, rather than to a book.

Greg Wilson | 1 comments Hi there.

A book has popped up attached to my author name which has nothing to do with me. It must be by another Greg Wilson.

This is me: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

This is the book that isn't mine: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Can someone please remove it from the list of my books

Many thanks!

Greg

#441 Neither of those pages are claimed author pages. Is Angelos Odyssey the only book that belongs to you?


message 427: by J.B.M. (new)

J.B.M. Patrick | 2 comments Yes. I just submitted an author request for J. B. M. Patrick.

Okay, this is the only book on that profile now- https://www.goodreads.com/author/show....

There are two ebook editions, one with a truncated ISBN13 for the other which can possibly be merged- they each list something different for publisher, though. One lists you as the publisher, and the other Shingen Blue Publishing; which is correct?

Thank you- I'll remove the truncated ISBN13 from the other ebook edition and merge the duplicate. You'll be left with one ebook edition, and one Kindle edition.


message 432: by J.B.M. (new)

J.B.M. Patrick | 2 comments Thanks. There's also physical copies on places like B&N and Amazon. There's a print ISBN and ebook ISBN. That info's just in case other duplicates pop up in the future.

Robert Walker | 1 comments Hi there. I'm a new author here and haven't yet claimed my profile.

The problem I have is that I have 39 kindle books to claim, all on my amazon profile here
https://www.amazon.com/Robert-Walker/...

There are 152 books listed as by "Robert Walker"
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Do I have to give links to all the 113 books there that aren't by me? Or is there an easier way to do it?

Thanks!

Arenda | 26452 comments #451 I'll move your books to a new Robert Walker profile. I'll use your Amazon page.

Found 23 of your books and moved them to a new Robert Walker profile: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

To claim that profile, you can use this link: https://www.goodreads.com/author/conf...

I created the profile today to coincide with my first book coming out. Although there are a fair few books that I have contributed to with stories. I would happily move mine to a different spacing if I knew how to do that, Most of the tutorials are pretty vague, so any help is welcome. I typed my name in and it came up with some books I contributed to and some I did not. I didn't know any other way to separate them.


message 445: by ☕ Lachgas ♿ (new)

☕ Lachgas ♿  (lachgas) | 9386 comments Ok than it was a mistake by staff - they shouldn't have given you that profile then.
Unfortunately moving GR author profiles is nothing that librarians or the authors themselves can do so you'll have to contact support https://www.goodreads.com/about/conta... and ask them to move your profile to a different one.
Include a link to your book so they can move that with your profile.
(GR differentiates authors with the same name by spaces between first and last name, so you probably will get the 2 space profile then)


message 446: by ☕ Lachgas ♿ (new)

☕ Lachgas ♿  (lachgas) | 9386 comments #458 That isn't your profile (yet) - it's an unclaimed profile so it belongs to no one.
I removed the twins book to another profile so you can claim the 1 space default https://www.goodreads.com/author/conf... (which will mean all other imported Jerry Sutherlands will go there in future - but that don't seem to be many)

Kate Marsh (drkatemarsh) | 3 comments Hi - can you please remove these books from my profile (https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...) as they are not mine.

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

I believe the author of the above books is trying to use my name to sell books as they have a few books of a similar topic to mine in various book sites and I found one book with a different author name on two sites (Kate Marsh on one and Kate Bush on another) but i havent been able to find any details of the author. Not sure if there is anything I can do about this?

Also these are not mine either:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

Thanks! Kate
