Marcia Bradley | 2 comments Hi again. First, thank you Scott for helping on my book page but on my author page, it shows my book, The Home for Wayward Girls, and still the other book, Explicit Erotica, which is definitely not mine. Can someone help get this off my author page:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

THANKS!

Abcdarian | 26579 comments Unfortunately it can take a few days for a book to disappear from your author profile because of caching on this site; the book was removed from your list of books. https://www.goodreads.com/author/list...

Looks like you already asked support about these. There is no need to request it again here.

Lucio Buffalmano | 5 comments Hello dear librarians,

Thank you for all the work you do to keep this community accurate.

This book here is erroneously attributed to me and I'd like to have it removed:

That doesn't make sense, because you left a rating on the book.


message 282: by Alison (new)

Alison Williams (sillwill) | 6 comments Hi Goodreads, I am Alison Williams, author of the novel, The Witch's Foundling. My name is apparently much more common than I anticipated. When I sign onto Goodreads, a couple of dozen books by or edited by 'Alison Williams' show up. Is there a way to address this or am I doing something incorrect? I still find it challenging to find my way around the Goodreads website. Thank you.

What you're saying doesn't make any sense, how's a rating even related to having authored a (non-existing) book?

Also that "Khaliur Rahaman" listed in there, never heard about him.

I repeat again: can someone please help me remove this non-existing book from my profile?

Many authors rate their own books. What I'm saying is, it doesn't make sense to rate a book that you have nothing to do with, rather than just ask to have it moved at that time.

It did exist at one time, even if it is not on Amazon now.
I have moved it off of your profile.


message 286: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth Williams (ewilliamsauthor) | 8 comments I am only supposed to have ONE book (Hexley: Iron Aces MC) on my profile page.
None of the other books are mine and need to be removed and put under the correct author please.
Thank you very much!


message 288: by Scott (new)

Scott | 8586 comments #287-288: Please contact support and ask them to move you and your book(s) to a new profile. This should have been done before claiming the profiles.

Lucio Buffalmano | 5 comments Emily wrote: "(...)"

OK, I see your point now.

And still, that book never existed.

I write about those topics and there are people who package my work into books or courses and try to pawn them off as their own, sometimes attaching my name to it to attract views.

When someone sells that book on some websites and then see it exists here they may think it's an actual book I've written, which is not the case (in that sense, Goodreads is unwittingly endorsing that type of scam).

Hence, I'm asking to have it removed for good.
Or at least, remove my name from it.

The ASIN suggests that it was a valid book at some point. If this was a matter of book piracy, you will need to contact support:

Thanks, Goodreads. I thought I took a wrong turn on the site but wasn't sure. Not technically proficient and I'm still learning.

No idea why, but it's probably because they also tried to sell it on Amazon where I had to have it removed more than once.

Here's the evidence for that: https://snipboard.io/yFGKqr.jpg

I contacted support first, and they told me to write here...

They thought it just wasn't your book and it was by someone with the same name as yours. If it needs to be removed from Goodreads due to piracy or the like, you should explain it in further detail to them and include the screenshot.
