Stephen Bird (stephencbird) | 2 comments I accidentally combined the 5 titles that appear on my Goodreads Page (Author Dashboard & Profile). I contacted Goodreads Support & a librarian separated the titles for me. However -- Now most of the stats for each title are incorrect. In lieu of re-explaining the issue -- Here's the letter that I wrote to Goodreads Support:

"Thank you for your prompt response & for separating the titles. Unfortunately the issue has not been resolved. All of my books now appear separately -- But the reviews are still consolidated under 1 title ("To Be to Is to Was", 2018). Readers are now going to see 4 of my 5 books with "0 reviews, 0 ratings" (those ratings & reviews accumulated over the last 10+ years have now disappeared). Most of the information about each title -- To-read, currently-reading etc. -- Is now incorrect. I made a mistake by accidentally combining all of my titles -- But don't have the required skill set to fix this issue myself".

Secondly -- I have a giveaway ending for my title "From G to PG to R to X" on Feb. 17th. I hope that readers will be able to access the correct information about this title (as well as all of my titles).

If anyone in this group can help me get my Goodreads Author page back to the way it was yesterday -- That would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Just a small correction. If you contacted Support you would have been assisted by a staff member. Librarians are volunteers. :)
