Elizabeth Ward (eward) | 2 comments Hi,
I have a published book which is linking to the wrong Elizabeth Ward. So I am unable to create an author profile to it by clicking 'is this you?' as it automatically links to the wrong version of me, please can someone help or let me know what I need to do?
(p.s. The other version of me looks much more exciting but definitely not me! TIA)

Jamal | 3 comments I too was surprised that I'm listed to many books (30 something) as the writer incorrectly. Why is this happening to many of us writers. It's important that our books are properly presented here and not caught up in the muddle of books that we didn't create. It is very hard to get goodreads to rectify this problem.

Sandra | 31529 comments Jamal, all you need to do is list the books that aren't yours and a librarian will move them.

The question is why they are going to your profile? Simple answer is you have the default profile of 1 space between your names.

I suggest that you contact support and have them move you to another profile otherwise this will continue to be a problem for you.
