Shwetha H.S. (shwethahs) | 4 comments Hi,

I desperately need help in merging an auto-generated profile of mine with my actual author profile. Both profiles have 2 books liked each and I want to make the necessary changes before my next book comes out.

https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... is my primary profile and I want the auto-generated one https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... to be merged with my primary profile.

I also seek to change my name from Shwetha H.S to Shwetha H S on my author profile.

Please help me with this.

Regards,
Shwetha H S

GR policy is for initials to have punctuation.

Thank you so much, Scott.

I have one more query. Please be kind enough to clarify it. Another of my books in coming out in a day or two on Amazon and is already live on other platforms. In that book too, my name is Shwetha H S. What would you suggest that I do to avoid the repetition of this situation?

Hoping that I am not asking for too much, could you please help me in moving this book https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... to my primary profile https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Scott | 8975 comments That book is on your profile. I moved it in accordance to your initial request.

If you can change your name on Amazon to have the punctuation (and no space between), it should correct any future imports.

Any alternative if I cannot change it on Amazon? Asking because I have published through Draft2Digital and everywhere name is Shwetha H S, without punctuation.

But if GR requires author profiles to have punctuation in the name, how did my auto-generated profile come to existence without punctuation?

Scott | 8975 comments Because it was imported that way.

The only other option is to have us correct them as they are imported here.
