This thread is for authors with names in common with one or more other authors. If you have found a book or book(s) by your fellow-named authors, or for some other reason someone else's book has landed on your profile, this is the thread for you.

Please include a link to each book that needs moving off your profile.

(Note: Starting new threads for each author (or book) is still ok. This thread is to prevent such requests from landing in the Please delete thread.)

Arenda | 26448 comments Was the old thread not attached at the top of the "Book Issues" folder, like the other two threads (delete and GR author merge)? Can you please change it? If it isn't, I'm afraid this thread will not be found.

Annie Hartnett | 3 comments Hi there --

Someone added my not-yet-published 2nd book, Driver's Ed, to Goodreads -- using some info I used to have on my website. But it's unlikely to have that title once it is published, and it will definitely not have that description. Can someone delete it for me? thanks!
Driver's Ed

message 40: by Deborah (new)

Deborah Burnside | 1 comments I currently only have one book on here, but there is another author with the same name is mine - and my book is appearing on her page. We had the same issue on Amazon, but they corrected it as soon as I brought it to their attention. To avoid confusing people who read both of us, can we also get that corrected here? You can find it at www.goodreads.com/book/show/33940045-.... Thank you!

Dobby (dobby0390) | 7857 comments #42 working on it...

Since you don't have a Goodreads Author profile yet (only a reader one), I moved your book to "Deborah^^Burnside" with 2 spaces between your first and last name. The spaces are only visible on the edit pages; they help to separate your profile from other authors with the same published name.

You can claim the Deborah Burnside author profile by submitting this request to join the Author Program. (That's the Is this you? Let us know link at the bottom of the author profile page.) After the staff has completed their review, they will upgrade your current reader profile to an author account and send you an email confirmation. This might take a few business days, depending on staff workload, so please be patient.

Once your claim is processed, you will be able to make certain changes to your books, including combining different editions of the same book. You'll then also have the ability to choose which edition will be the default—that is, the one that comes up in searches by title and shows on your author profile.

You can find more information on the Author Program here.

I also added the missing page counts and covers from Amazon.

Spinner Publications (spinnerpub) | 3 comments Is it possible to remove two books from the profile of an author that is not me?

The following titles are incorrectly linked to the profile of Goodreads Author Catherine McLaughlin (https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...)

Tell Me About Heaven...I Think I'm Forgetting. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7...

&

The Managed Care Backlash. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...

Thank you


message 46: by Alexa (new)

Alexa Adams | 11 comments Hi! Please remove this book from my profile: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

This is the forth one by this author that has been listed as mine in the past month and a half. Is there anyway to stop it from continuing to happen? Thanks.

Alexa


message 47: by Sandra (new)

Sandra | 31401 comments #52 Alexa I've moved it for you. You have the default Alexa Adams profile so all books by others of that name that are imported or added by members will go to your profile.

It is easy for librarians to move them, but if you want it to stop you need to contact support to change your profile. If you do get changed, please be aware that you might have the same problem but in reverse ie your books end up on the default profile & you need a librarian to add them to your profile.

message 48: by Caitlin (new)

Caitlin (nevermore999) | 2 comments Hello. I and my late grandfather co-authored a book called "Generation- Poetry Passed Down"- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

However, I noticed that my grandfather's author page- "Edward Caldwell"- has several books on it he did not write, including some with content he would have found objectionable. https://www.goodreads.com/author/list...

"Generations" is the only book he has actually written on the page. So if you could give him a separate, distinct author page featuring only that book, I'd really appreciate it. My grandfather was very passionate about being published, and publishing our poetry book was the last thing I was able to do for him. I want him to be represented accurately on this website. I know it would mean a lot to him.

I applied to become a librarian to fix this issue, but it's been several days and I've received no response for whatever reason. Someone helping me out here is my only hope.

Thank you. I appreciate it.
