1. Goodreads separates authors of the same name with spaces before the last name.

2. there are other authors with your name, so your author profile has 3 spaces: Angela^^^Bennett where the ^ equals a space

3. When a work is automatically imported to Goodreads from Amazon or any other source, it goes t the "default" or "1 space" profile.

4. You can add a book manually before the automatic import, or ask in this forum to have it moved.

5. Many authors do not know about the multiple spaces, so I thought I would let you know.

6. When you ask for assistance, it is quite helpful to mention that your profile has 3 spaces. Thank you so much for providing the link to the book, that also helps tremendously.

Angela Bennett | 11 comments Thank you so much for your assistance and for explaining the multiple spaces profile issue and I'll keep it in mind for my future books in case I need to ask for help again.
Have a nice day!
