Debbie (dskjcz) | 98 comments 2 authors with the same name, I know we normally add a space between the first and last name, but they only have 1 name Selena - Amazon has 2 different pages for the authors as well...any ideas? I looked through the manual and on the group page with no luck on how to resolve this :(

Miriam | 1831 comments When separating single name authors, an alternative is to separate the author's books from the default profile by adding a space followed by a period to the author name.

It's in the manual, almost towards the bottom (searching for "single" works to find it).

The other option is if they ever published with a longer version of the name we can use that as a "more complete" version (i.e. last name or initial).

Debbie (dskjcz) | 98 comments THANK YOU!!! I searched for hours, but evidently missed that about adding a . to the end of one...I did try adding a space after the name, but it didn't do anything!
