Mirella Muffarotto (mirellamuffarotto) | 76 comments Hi!
I'm the only author and copyright owner (Translation copyright owner, too) of Craving U. Please, remove D.G. Heise (Translator) from the "Authors". It's a work made for hire, the translator doesn't have neither credits nor rights on the book. When a work is deemed to be "made for hire," the employer (Mirella Muffarotto, the author) is deemed to be the author and therefore owns all rights associated with the work under copyright law.

I am the AUTHOR (Mirella Muffarotto, pen name Llarjme) and I own all rights associated with my work.
Thanks a lot!

Translator added back.

This has nothing to do with who owns the copyright; if the book data is valid, we do not remove it.

Mirella Muffarotto (mirellamuffarotto) | 76 comments Ok, no problem!
I'm the only author. I added the book data before the release; now I'm editing them according to the Amazon product page.
That's OK. Thanks anyway!

Please just add Mirella Muffarotto's role as Editor.
TY!

Z-squared | 8575 comments Sorry again, but we don't give author status to editors on books unless it's an anthology and the editor was responsible for assembling it. Removed Mirella Muffarotto.

Deon (deonva) | 3718 comments Z-squared, Mirella Muffarotto is Llàrjme, I think this is acceptable to add.

Mirella Muffarotto (mirellamuffarotto) | 76 comments You all are so kind, but I think that book data was better once... before my request. Could you please remove (pen name)? If necessary, remove "Mirella Muffarotto" as well.

If you could remove the translator too, according to the Amazon product page (to avoid misunderstandings) it would be great, otherwise just restore the book data as it was.

Sorry for this mess!
Thank you so much for your kind cooperation.

Charlenne Kayla Roeslie (charlennekayla) | 16 comments It's done! :)


message 10: by Paula (new)

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments GR and Amazon have different policies.

GR does not have product pages as it is not selling books but has book catalog pages since it is for cataloging and reviewing books and all cataloging data is important.

Translator as per GR policy stays.

Role of Pen Name removed


message 11: by Deon (new)

Deon (deonva) | 3718 comments as Paula & Rivka have both said,

Translator must stay. Please do not remove.

And is listed on the cover; agreed and added back, with no author role.


message 13: by Mirella (new)

Mirella Muffarotto (mirellamuffarotto) | 76 comments That's OK!
I didn't remove translator, I can't do that. I can't "add" or remove the main book data... I'm not a Librarian.

Really sorry for this mess!
Thank you all for your kind cooperation and for your work as Librarians:)
