J.S. Monroe | 9 comments Hi there,

Two books are showing up on my author page (see below). Neither of them are mine. One of them has resulted in me being accused of plagiarism and worse! I'd be grateful if they could both be removed from my J.S.Monroe author page. Many thanks, Jon

PS To make matters more complicated (sorry!), the second one, My Wisconsin Ancestors, is by an author called Jon Stock, which happens to be my real name, but this is also not me! I wrote a number of spy novels (Dead Spy Running etc) under my own name, Jon Stock, before writing under the pseudonym J.S.Monroe. I did not write My Wisconsin Ancestors. Thanks in advance for your help with this.

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 15 comments I'm still new to this group so am unsure if this is the correct place to post this.

My friend Katja H. Labonte has a book that is not linked up with her profile. She knows how it happened. The other friend that uploaded the book's details to Goodreads forgot to add her middle initial when adding the book. Are you able to fix that for Miss Labonte?

The book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

Her correct profile: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

By the way, we are working on swapping out the cover. Her middle initial was supposed to be on the cover, but the wrong cover pic was used for GR. It will include her middle initial when we get that done, so please don't go by the current cover pic's author name. Thanks!

Also, is there a way that, if it happens again, she herself can fix it (by claiming the book or something)? Or should we come back here and ask for help? Either way is fine, of course. But if there's something we can learn that will help keep up with her own books, we'd be glad to have those instructions.

Thank you so much!

Done. If you have the ISBN or ASIN, that would be most helpful.

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 15 comments There is not currently either number. If one is added later, I'll let you know. Thank you.

Miss Labonte said to pass on her gratitude, so thank you very much from her.

Suzannah Rowntree | 22 comments Hi! I'm writing about this book:

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

It was not written by this author: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

But by this author: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Would love it to be shifted! It was automatically added to Goodreads under the other author's name.

Gloria Pastorino | 24 comments Hi. I'm a translator and I've just been added as author. I found some books that are not mine...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
I'm not the translator of this one

Would you please remove them from my profile? Thank you!

K.D. Robertson | 10 comments My newest book landed on the profile of an author with the same name. Could someone please move it to my profile:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

If it helps, Goodreads formats my author name with two spaces between "K.D." and "Robertson" in the author field. Thanks!

Sarah Holz | 8 comments Hi Goodreads Librarians! This book below has been added to my author page because the author and I share the same name, but unfortunately, I didn’t write it and I want to make sure the real author gets credit for her work. Can you please remove it at your convenience? Thank you!

Lotte (lottedijkstra) | 1 comments Hello! The book 'SMEEKENS. Hoe ik goud verloor en mezelf terugvond' shows up on the profile of Jan Smeekens (https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...) , author of 'Wie knipt de tenen van de reus', but that's not the author.

Could those please be separated?

Your book is by Ava Farmer. That might be why.

The other book is not on your profile. It doesn't even have a name that is similar to yours.

E.C. (eccoltonauthor) | 8 comments Hello,

I posted a little while ago, and I'm not sure if something went wrong, but this book got moved to my profile a while back when it's not written under this name: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

If someone could fix this so the sole author is "Emeline Carina Colton," that would be great. Thank you!
