adding a book to my author page

[A.G.]

Lady Alma

Hi,

I hope this is the correct place to ask about this. I checked help documents, and they said to post in the librarian group.

My book "Lady Alma" is not showing up on my author page. I think it is because my author name is listed as "A.G." on the page but "A. G." (with a space between the letters) on the book. What can I do to fix this?

On other websites, my name is listed with the space between the letters.

Thanks,
A. G. Marshall

Initials fixed.

A.G., GR policy is to have the space after the initials & before the surname, we use that space to disambiguate authors with the same name.

Having a space between the initials would be very confusing to librarians & you may be merged into your existing profile anyway.

Please see the Goodreads policy on author names containing initials: https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/6...

Thanks so much, everyone! I definitely want to follow standard practice regarding initials. The new book is showing up on my page now, which was the main problem.
