Hi there

This book 'Fallen Angel' is by a person of the same name, it is not by me. I would like it removed from my profile please.

1. I moved these books to a unique author profile.

2. You have a user profile. You can claim this author profile by going to the author profile page here: Jonathan Gunson

scroll down and click on the link that says is this you?

3. There are already authors with the same name.

4. Goodreads disambiguates between authors of the same name by using spaces before the author's last name.

5. This author profile has 2 spaces: Jonathan^^Gunson, where the ^ equals a space.

6. When publications are automatically imported from Amazon or other sources, the "handshake' between Goodreads and the other source do not recognize multiple spaces, so the work goes to the default 1 space profile. Often when users add works, they may not be familiar with the number of spaces that this profile uses, so may only use the default spacing.

7. You can post in this forum to have it moved as you have done, or you can add the book with the 2 spaces between your first and last name before publication.

8. When you ask for assistance, it is helpful to include that your author profile has 2 spaces.

How do I remove a book from my author dashboard? It wasn't published before- but it will be published in April 2021. New ISBN and cover. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

Since it has ISBNs you will have to contact support and explain.

Hi folks, I am new here, so please forgive me if that shows.

I am one of the authors of "Faith Seeking Freedom," listed here:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

My name is Dick Clark. I am not however Richard Wagstaff "Dick" Clark, the deceased show business personality (though he died on my birthday).

My profile is here:

https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/1...

I have not been able to create an author profile yet because the author name links to the other person's profile.

Thanks in advance for your help!

You can claim it on the by clicking at the bottom of the page: Is this you? Let us know.

[Sophie]

Hi, I hope this is the right place for this, sorry if it isn't. I'm trying to make my Goodreads profile correctly list anthologies I have been published in, i.e. excluding other Sophie Sparrows and including everything I've published so far.

My Amazon page lists things correctly (apart from 1 anthology I'm in that isn't available there).

Amazon page:

https://www.amazon.com/Sophie-Sparrow...

Additional anthology:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

If someone could help me out with this it would be amazing, I find Goodreads very difficult to navigate and have been banging my head against the wall for an hour now even trying to find a contact form '_'

For future reference, is there a way to easily link my Goodreads profile to any other anthologies I may yet be published in? Thanks, librarians :)

1. There are other authors with the same name.

2. Goodreads differentiates between authors of the same name withy spaces before the last name.

3. Your author profile has 2 spaces: Sophie^^Sparrow where the ^ equals a space.

4. When publications are automatically imported from Amazon or other sources, the "handshake' between Goodreads and the other source do not recognize multiple spaces, so the work goes to the default 1 space profile. It is systemic. Often when users add works, they may not be familiar with the number of spaces that this profile uses, so may only use the default spacing.

I'll take care of this. Did you identify which books were yours when you claimed this author profile? [it's not a problem, it just helps to know how best to assist you]

[Sophia]

This book has been linked to my author profile, it is not my book or work so I would like it removed. I don't know why I've been able to remove the title and the content. I think it is a spammer.

requesting removal is the correct procedure. Changing valid book records is not. It is not spam, it is simply another author with the same name.

It's quite common to have authors of more than one name. In future instances, please post in this forum and someone will take care of it, as I did. I have reverted the changes you made and moved this book by the other author Sophia Powell to a unique profile for her.

@Suzi

Many thanks for unlinking the book from my profile. Although I don't appreciate the tone that you used in replying, as I'm still learning to use this site and I think people should remember that. So when I first saw the book listed I assumed as I could delete the record of it, and that the content was also posted whereby I could remove it, that it was spam and I had had my account hacked. I didn't realise until searching else where that this was a geninue author, and a geninue piece of fiction. For that I apologise, but do please remember not everyone is completely to grips with the in's and out's of this site.

[Kimberly]

Hi sorry I think I posted separately first. I have attempted to delete but it may not have worked.

This is me: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Hello, please remove this book from my profile as I was not the author, so that the relevant page can be disambiguated. Many thanks in advance.

1. I have removed the requested books from your profile.

2. The laminated "guides" are not considered books by Goodreads standards so I have removed them or queued them to be merged as appropriate.

3. I have found several other editions of your works under a couple of other profiles, and moved to your profile and combined them with existing works as needed.

4. If I have moved anything to your profile that is not yours, please advise, and I will correct it.
