I have moved these from the default/generic Chris Bauer profile to your Chris Bauer profile that was created for you early last year. It is Chris^^^Bauer, where ^ represents a space. Spaces in the book records are how Goodreads differentiates between authors with the same name.
Someone had assigned a bio to the default/generic profile, but as more books import, other Chris' books will land there, so I have removed that bio and added a general note.
As you can see here:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
C.G. is the primary author and Chris is the secondary author because it was first published under C.G. As the author, you have the ability to set which edition you would like to make the default that shows in your profile and in searches. Here are the instructions:
https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/...
The books are all now on the correct profiles. If you would like any of them connected to both profiles or would like a bio added to your Chris profile, please start another thread in this folder.
Hi, i am trying to set up an author page but my book is assigned to another author of the same name. The book is called Orrcry https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
Please can you unassign it? Many thanks

#769 Staff tended to your author profile and book a few hours ago, so marking as done.
The following book is being listed on my author profile as one of my books but it is NOT one of my titles. Could you please remove it from my author profile:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
It's definitely NOT one of my books. It's an author whose name is the same as mine, but this is NOT a book I wrote.
Hi awesome librarians,There are 4 books written by a different Cassandra Wolf on my author profile. Could you please delete?

All the rest are mine. Many thanks, Andy
Andy, you should not have been assigned that profile. Please write to Support and let them know which books ARE yours (as on the author application), so they can move you and your books to a new profile. https://www.goodreads.com/about/conta...
Could a librarian please delete this book from my author profile? I no longer co-write books and shouldn't be listed on this. Thank you!https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
#786 Grace you'll need to contact support to have it removed, as its one of those things that librarians can't do.
#787 That book was published under LL first so it goes to that profile, but you added your NLW profile to it as well, so that edition has both names on it. Added cover from Smashwords. We don't delete books that are no longer available.

Are you saying that the book will not be published, or that you will not be one of the authors?
This book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... has been added to the wrong author. I am the actual author: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...(So the book is NOT by https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... I did not author the other book on that author page, so that can stay put.)
Is this the right place to get it moved? Thanks for any help.
Hi Murder at the Dolphin Hotel by Helena Dixon is not the Helena Dixon who has written all the erotica books. It is a new pen name for Nell Dixon, please can it be added to Nell Dixon's books.
#791 Done#792 Nell, I have moved it to a new Helena Dixon profile, and I've added your name to the author list of both editions.
Hello there, May I please ask for your help to remove or merge my book listing that appears twice on goodreads? It is my debut novel so I think one listing has shown up from Amazon and the other was set up by an ARC reviewer but I'm unable to delete or combine the duplicate version. One version has a review, but I THINK the one without a review listed is the 'official' one from Amazon. Note the dash vs parentheses for the series name/info. Is it possible to transfer the review to the version with the parentheses please?

Also, I'm submitted a request to claim the author profile for Morgan Knight just for Valley Of Secrets. These two books below (Rigged and A Walk Into Darkness) are NOT mine.

Thanks so much,

#794 Combined & moved your books to a clean profile. Merged the duplicate. May take a day or two for the duplicate to disappear and the reviews etc to settle down, due to caching.GR uses spaces in author names to distinguish between authors with the same name, you are Morgan^^Knight, where ^ = a space.
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
If you've already requested GR Author status I suggest you contact them with the new profile details.
This Turkish version is in wrong Rob Scott page:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
The original is this book and author:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8...
can you move it?
Hi. Just added a book (Guerreiro da Paz) and it went to the wrong author's page with the same name. Could you remove it and create a new author's page (Hélder Batista)? https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
The author's only published work is Guerreiro da Paz.
Also, the following book is in the wrong author's profile. Could you move it and create a new author's page for Pedro Rodrigues? His only work is Deve Ser Primavera Algures: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
Thanks.

Thank you so much! Could you add the accentuation in Hélder's author name, please? It's Hélder, not Helder.
#800 Unfortunately I couldn't get it to stick, I tried a few different ways but it wouldn't work. If someone comes along they're welcome to have a go.

Wren, as those are the only books on that profile, you will need to write to Support and let them know that you no longer wish to be a Goodreads Author with that profile and you can have the books removed as well. https://www.goodreads.com/about/conta...
Thanks so much, Sandra! I have one more request - my GR profile looks to be all set up which is great, however it's associated with the wrong books. Can you kindly move my author profile from here https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
to here
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
Thank-you!
#807 No sorry, as I said back in #795, you need to contact support to move your profile, we cannot do it.
This book is mine, not the other Lily Archer it is currently attributed to.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
Please move it to my profile. Thanks.
Hello, I'm currently in the process of becoming a Goodreads Author but my book https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... has already been added to a different Arthur Allen's profile
Hello!I am not the editor of this book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
And I have nothing to do with this digital sheet music book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
Thank you!

Hi,My book is added with different editions. can you please remove others, let the selected edition be there only. It is very confusing. I have switched an edition, let it be there only.
#809 Book moved to your profile, cover added, series added, duplicate merged. Also moved all the German editions to your profile & combined. Added the missing audiobooks.#810 If we move the book now you'll have the same problem as the other author just upstream of your request. Better to wait and see whether support moves you to a new profile and if not you'll have to request them to move you.
#811 Mark its no use writing librarian notes on books as no one sees them unless we're working on the book. Moved both from your profile.
#812 Jasbeer, we don't remove other valid editions of works, think of us as a library rather than a bookshop. Merging duplicate paperback edition.
Because Goodreads automatically populates books from Amazon, the Love & Lace InKorporated magazine is listed under my name when it shouldn't be. I am the creator of the magazine, not the author. It has been corrected on Amazon, but not Goodreads. Please remove the following from my profile:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
