Book linked to wrong author, authors have same name

[[deleted user]]

Hello, just added this book to my TBR list ans noticed that it's linked to an American author, Louise Marley. The Louise Marley who wrote this is actually British so a different woman. Not sure how to remedy this myself?

If someone could please fix this authors profile to show her books and not have them on someone else's profile

Was not her author page but her 2 books are here
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

1 book link- who knows why
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Another link for her book ?
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

All the correct information and links are below

new author profile page - I had her signup for Author Profile via goodreads
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...


This is her book but on that first author profile link which is not hers
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Also her book - but its on first author link which is not her author profile
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Thank you for any help

Thank you :-)

Please this Authors profile has many books which are not hers. She has only 2 books I posted earlier in this thread and I think was posted as done but its still showing a ton of books that are not hers on her author profile

This book is showing up with the wrong author name so it's being assigned to a non existent author

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

It should be assigned to C.S. Woolley as the other books in the same series are. Thanks :-)

Hello,

The listing for the book The Lady Dauntless (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...) points to the wrong Elizabeth Cole.

It SHOULD link up to this profile https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... (two spaces between first/last names). You’ll see other books in the same series.

Thanks,

Elizabeth

Hi, I have the same issue with the book Winds of Change at https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2.... The author Paul Collins is automatically linked to a different Paul Collins. Thanks for any help!

[Philip]

#12 - Could you provide the link to the correct Paul Collins?

[Mary]

Paul has no previous publications.

[Philip]

#12/14 - Done.

Moved to "Paul^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Collins" where ^=space. Had to go out to 18 spaces, since there are so many Paul Collins.

Will not affect searches or anything, just separates the books.

Thanks!

Peter Burke has two books, "Indoor Gardening" and "Year-Round Indoor Salad Gardening" but currently his author profile is linking to a different Peter Burke.

I've been unable to claim my own book since it's linked to another writer of the same name. Any fix for this.

#20: What book?

This is actually my book, but it's assigned to another G.Miller. How do I fix this?

My book is listed under another author with the same name. How do I go about changing that? I have been looking up where to post this with not much luck. Thank you so much

Just post a link to the book, and we can take care of it. You can post to this thread, since it is a generic thread or to a new thread.

[Ann]

Thank you so much! This is my book https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

https://www.goodreads.com/Annjonesbooks and this is me.
I really appreciate you help! Am a bit of a nervous wreck lol!

I would love some help!

There are several authors called Kate Davies. Some books have been attributed to the wrong one.

These books should be attributed to THIS Kate Davies:

My book is listed under another author with the same name.

Can you please reassign this book to me:

Somehow this book is linked to my author profile, but it is by a different Joyce Dickens. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

This is preventing me from claiming my actual book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

My author profile is: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Thank you so much!

Hey

I am writing today as my upcoming novel Lost Words is linked to the wrong author. this is the book Lost Words and this is the correct author page https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Thank you in advance.

I moved the book to your profile and removed cover designer, as GR does not list them

Grimdark Magazine Issue #4 has the wrong richard ford, it should be https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... instead. It is also not part of the GdM series, https://www.goodreads.com/series/1918...

[Philip]

#42 - Well I would normally comply on fixing the name, but since there is a note from the Goodreads Staff to not edit the record you will need to contact support.

Also, that series should not even exist, because magazine issues would not fall under series requirements for GR. Somebody probably needs to turn it into a Listopia.

Hi, this book is linked to the wrong author (same name).

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

It belongs to myself: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Can this be updated? Thanks.

Hi there, I'm trying to merge these two books (as they are one and the same) and connect them to the correct author, which is me!

This is the correct book page:

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

But another reviewer created another, which is here!

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

Can they be merged with the first being the primary?

Then, the correct Robert Parker that they should be by is this one, which is myself:

https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

THANK YOU!

A final request would be that this the second book in the Ben Bracken series, with A Wanted Man being the first (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...) - is it possible to link them?

Hugely grateful for any and all assistance here.

Cheers,

Rob

#45 moved to your profile and combined, as these are two different editions: paperback and Kindle.

Could you please explain what the Ben Bracken series numbering should be as there are two books #1
The Baby And The Brandy
A Wanted Man
and two books #2:
Morte Point
Apex
and
Ben Bracken: Origins
and
The Deansgate Deadline

Also, to set the default edition please follow the steps below:

Hi,

Brian Garrison and I (Brian U. Garrison) have been trying to get things straightened out. I should have only 3 titles to my name (see links below), the remaining ones on me belong to "Brian Garrison." Your help is appreciated.
