message 1: by Naisha (new)

Naisha Caraballo (anonymous541) | 3 comments This book is the book that I have published on Amazon and I have added it but it linked to another anonymous author. I am trying to connect it to me and have an author profile. Do I need to prove so?

Thank you

Emily | 17595 comments I can't seem to tell how many Anonymous(.) profiles there are.
Can someone else?


Elizabeth (Alaska) Why would there be more than one Anonymous profile? If there were additional profiles, the author wouldn't be anonymous.

I thought it would be like other one-named authors.

My question was to others to figure out how to make a unique profile.

You need to have an author profile. Goodreads support will have to help you.

At least 9 at the moment: https://www.goodreads.com/author/simi...

Suzi | 8661 comments The last time I know of when this issue appeared, staff made the decision that Anonymous is just that and left the work under the generic one.

Under this circumstance, I suggest contacting Goodreads support and asking how to proceed.

Goodreads staff might decide it is so. But it would be the antithesis of the definition of anonymous. Anonymous isn't really a name, but the very lack of one.
