1. Only you can see your author dashboard.
2. Just to be clear, are you saying you did not write these books?
I’m not the author so if only the author can request this, I’m not authorized. The author, Lee Smith, is appearing (virtually) at the Southern Festival of Books, and this book is listed as hers.In case I wasn’t clear, there are apparently 2 different authors named Lee Smith and I am talking about a book that should be moved from one Lee Smith to the other.
This book is under the wrong authorhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
Please add it to Leonard W. Lambert
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
Apparently, there are two authors with the same name.

Thank you.
The other Leonard Lambert author, I want to make sure my books are not associated with that author in anyway. Is there anything I need to do on my profile page or author dashboard?
Here is the link to his book and page:

Books are usually imported automatically from Amazon and other sites, so the only sure way to make sure you are separated is to publish your books with your initial.
Please move this book to the correct author profile (2 authors with same name)https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
It should be this author:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
Thanks!

Done!
Please change this book to my profile. There are multiple authors by the same name, and a reader added it before I could (my name has two spaces between Elizabeth and Johns). Thank you!https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

It was an automatic import, not a reader.
Moved.
Thank you! I didn't know they could be automatically imported. I don't suppose there is a way to prevent it being attributed to the wrong person?
This book is under the wrong one,
