My name is Kay Ritz. I just recently joined Goodreads, and will soon have a giveaway of my book Sheever's Journal, Diary of a Poison Master. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... On my dashboard, however, a second book is listed (Beyond Biomass ) that I did not write. Could you please remove that book from my dashboard?
Thank you so much --- K

Just received a note from a friend that my book The Texas Rodeo Murder is listed with the books by George Wilhite, horror author.
A friend just informed me that my book The Texas Rodeo Murder is showing as one of the books of George Wilhite, horror author.
Hi, I write ONLY write the Dressed in Pink; Misadventures in the wine country, and the short story Chianti, mysteries.
The Mindful books, sleep book, etc are not mine.
Also, I cant seem to add Dressed in White, Dressed in Yellow, And Dressed in Purple to my written collection
Will you be able to do that please. I'm running in circles.
Thank you!
Diana Stone on the horse, with wine and misadventures.
#607-614 are already done for days by someone - mentioning that here would've saved quite some time.#615 I moved that book to the author on the cover - but, which one IS your book then? ETA: will forward it to staff to correct changes against policy
Are single names not shown as similar names?
Hi,This book isn't mine, please could you remove it from my page:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
Thanks,
Rebecca
#616 your profile is a user profile so deleting books from there is your business if you had added that to one of your shelves.I did move the book you linked to a different spacing to combine it with other editions though.
#617 moved the China books and moved https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... to the correct author name as on the cover.If that is your book under a different pen name you can claim that profile with another email address than your first GR author profile.
If you want to use the 2nd name in general in the future you can ask support to move your profile over to that one instead of having two profiles. (https://www.goodreads.com/about/conta...)
#619 also already done by someone else#620 done
#621 already done by staff and duplicated in this thread - it does not help if you leave librarian notes on a book that needs to be moved, we do only see them if we are actually on either your combine page or editing the book already.
I removed the librarian note.
#622 I moved it but ... is that an actual book considered as such by GR? Do you have further info like ISBN?
#623 moved
#624 moved
#625 Well there is no other Katie so it's technically not the wrong profile as it's not claimed by anybody - but in case your author wants to claim her profile I moved the book to a new one https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...moved #626 Simon as that was not the correct author to https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... in case you want to claim that as author profile (currently you have only a user profile, for claiming you have to click on "is this you" at the bottom of the page)
#627 & 628 duplicate posting moved the books to an empty profile (3 spaces) in case you want to claim the profile https://www.goodreads.com/author/show.... added a cover and combined the two editions.Did you write https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... too?
there are several books connected to my profile that I did not write. My only book is How to Fail at Flirting. Can the others be removed?
#629 no need for circles - all the other books were not on your profile at all (that's why there are spaces in between first and last name) - I did move your other books (the 3 colors and the Chianti novelette) to your profile and added them to your series.You would not be able to move them yourself - asking in the Librarians Group is the perfect way,
So, time to relex :)
Is the novelette set between two books or is it not relevant when to read it?
#631 moved it to a new profile - as the book is published soon there might appear some other formats on your profile in the near future (the get imported by bots and the 1 space profile is the default...) - you can just ask here again if that happens.
#638 that is already the only book on your profile https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... no need to move anything around as the other books are on a different profile(you got that set up by staff hours ago)
Hi! Can you please remove this book off my author page? Thanks!https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
Hi there,Could you please remove this book from my Author profile? I did not write it.

There is another Elizabeth Fraley who is an attorney and must be the author of that Texas legal book, but it isn't me.
I have a new Author profile under Martin Smith for my first book entitled Are We Doing the Stelvio Today? Hopefully one in a long series. Unfortunately having a common name there are many books accredited to may profile.
I understand that I am supposed to leave a link to the books to be removed but there are MANY!
Can you help?
#647 Martin you need to contact support (you can do that here https://www.goodreads.com/about/conta...) - they have given you the wrong (the default) profile. Ask them to move your profile and your book (give them a link to it) to a different spacing.Not only would it be a lot! of work to remove these books but all Martin Smith books imported by bots would land on that default profile again - so removing now would not help for long.

Hello. I am new to Goodreads. I just posted this as its own thread, but then found this place for such requests. Forgive me for the prior post.When I created my author page, I removed the books I saw that weren't written by me, but I find that there's one I missed: "The Fantasy Basketball Coaches' Fantasy Basketball Strategy Guide" (2012) by Nels Wadycki (Goodreads Author), Patrick Madden, Erik Ong. The Fantasy Basketball Coaches' Fantasy Basketball Strategy Guide I am Patrick Madden, but I'm not THAT Patrick Madden.
Can y'all help remove that book from my page?
Patrick Madden
{also note: when I try to "add book/author" and search for my name, I do not come up; only a different Patrick Madden shows in the results}
And while we're here: there are also three old literary magazines that show up on my page (Austin Review, Bearings, Ocean State Review). I did not upload these journals to Goodreads. They were already here when I signed up. And while I DID write pieces that are included in them, they are not really "books." If I were to include all the literary journals I've published work in, I'd have over a hundred entries, which would be tiring and messy. Should I/we remove those entries as well?
Thanks for your help and advice.
Bearings, Spring 1987
The Austin Review Issue 1
The Ocean State Review Vol. 5, No. 1
Please remove the following book from my author page as it is NOT mine ~ Kyohei Inukai (1886-1954) by Ky...by Kyohei Inukai, Miyoko & John Davey (Editor)

#662 Michael, you should not have been assigned that profile. You should contact Support and let them know which book is yours, then they can assign you to a new profile.
https://www.goodreads.com/about/conta...
#663 Patrick, here is the answer I was typing in your other post before deletion. For future reference it is fine to make your own post if you like.
I don't know about Bearings, someone else may want to weigh in.
Austin Review and Ocean State Review are valid entries so they won't be removed. Austin Review is a Kindle edition and was imported automatically. If they have ISBNs or ASINs, there is always a possibility they could be added manually or imported. Many journals do not qualify for Goodreads purposes so they are unlikely to be added.
I have removed the basketball book. It will take time for it to disappear from your profile.

I've moved all Alien Breed and Dark Love books to the other Melody Adams. Please specify if there are any others that needs to be moved: https://www.goodreads.com/author/list...
ETA: some books were added by the author, moved those too

Thank you, Emily. Can you clarify for me: if an author is one of many contributors to a journal, should that journal show up on their author page? As I mentioned, this could potentially lead to hundreds of entries on an author page.
Patrick wrote: "Thank you, Emily. Can you clarify for me: if an author is one of many contributors to a journal, should that journal show up on their author page? As I mentioned, this could potentially lead to hundreds of entries on an author page."It could, but I doubt it. It depends if someone really wants to add them and if they have an ISBN or not. Since you are a prolific author, I would think if 99% of them are not already on your profile, then they are not likely to be added (but could be).
Kindle editions are usually automatically imported.
If you have been added as an author then it will show up on your profile page.
