S.M. James | 10 comments Hopefully this is the right place!

Whenever my new books download from Amazon onto Goodreads, they go to this author name:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

Which is the one I originally set up. Then in Dec of last year, my author name was changed to remove the space between initials and added multiple spaces before my surname. Like this:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

I then can't claim my new books because it's already assigned to a different name. Is there any way around this?

Thanks!

Sandra | 31478 comments You have 2 choices -

1. Beat the autobots at amazon who import the books; to do so you'll need to add the asin or the bots will just import it anyway. And don't forget their are 3 spaces between your middle initial and your surname.

2. Post in Book Issues as a new thread or the This Book Isn't Mine Thread (this thread works both ways - adding & removing books on wrong author profiles) and a librarian will move it for you. It's easy for us to do so, so don't worry about it.

Moved the book to your profile & added it to the series.
