Kevin Mortimer (kevincraigmortimer) | 2 comments Hi,

I've just been added to the Author programme and I see that my first work is listed here with the wrong author name.
The Runes by MK Muerte

The cover page art has my name on it, as do all the relevant distribution channels.
How do I go about having the entry changed for the book to my name.
Kevin Craig Mortimer

Thanks for any assist.
Kevin

P.P. Corcoran (ppcorcoran) | 10 comments Hi,

I have a similar problem, my book ASIN B00IMP3HB4 was originally added with the author name "Paul Corcoran" it needs to be changed to "P.P. Corcoran" so I can combine other editions with it.

Appreciate any help,

Paul

Ingie | 435 comments This book The Sum of All Kisses https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... has been combined to the wrong narrator.

The same name Rosalyn Landor for the same person.
It should be this narrator: Rosalyn Landor (https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...) not this Rosalyn Landor (https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...).

Allen Jr. | 3 comments Hello,

My book has an incorrect author name.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Could a lovely librarian please help me correct the name to match my current profile. Should be
Allen Johnson Jr. (with a double space between Allen and Johnson)

Thanks for your time

Tomislav Škrljac (skrky) | 5 comments Hi.
Could you please correct the author name for The Bear Detectives' Agency: The Alien from Area 51 It says "Tomislav Skerlet", but it should be connected to my profile Tomislav Škrljac, just like in the case of the other book in the series: The Bear Detectives' Agency: The Central Park Caper, where it is marked the way it should be.
Thank you in advance.
Edit: I am talking about the illustrator name, sorry.

You don't have an author profile yet.
I've moved your book to a new profile: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

First, I'd like to thank you for the quick response. Secondly, how long must I wait for the for my application to be accepted, it has been 2 days since I sent the submission.

Usually it takes a few business days, see https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Lobstergirl https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...

These editions don't agree on who the author/primary author is.


message 22: by Arenda (new)

(Both are pen names of the same author; oldest edition was published under Lesley Egan, made Lesley Egan primary author on all editions.)


message 23: by Angela (new)

Angela Couch | 2 comments Similar problem, for my book, I Heard the Bells. But the name is spelled right, only the period after my middle initial is missing so it doesn't link to my account. Angela K Couch instead of Angela K. Couch. Thanks!
