Toni Lynn (toni_lynn) | 5 comments Hi, can you help me merge author profiles? I think it's the librarians I'm supposed to ask. :)

I finally got an author profile approved, but all of my book are showing under another profile and when I click "that's me" it says I already have a profile.

The profile I want books on: https://www.goodreads.com/toni_lynn

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

Additionally, the book "Embraced by Dance" is not mine. The others 7 showing are.

Thank you!

Toni Lynn (toni_lynn) | 5 comments I do have an author dashboard. It says "My Author Dashboard" and "Edit Author Dashboard" on my profile, and when I click on the link to claim those books as mine, it says I can't because I already have a profile.

Scott | 8746 comments Well you're posting from a user account so perhaps it would be helpful to link to your author account.

Toni Lynn (toni_lynn) | 5 comments I would if I knew how. :) I thought I had.


message 6: by Scott (new)

Scott | 8746 comments No, that's also a user account. I don't see a claimed Toni Lynn profile.


message 7: by Toni (new)

Toni Lynn (toni_lynn) | 5 comments Okay, so why does it say "Sorry, you are already in the author program as Toni Lynn and only one author profile may be claimed at a time." when I try to claim the Toni Lynn author profile?


message 8: by Scott (new)

Scott | 8746 comments Ok, now it is showing as claimed. But for some reason you claimed a profile with only one empty duplicate record on it, rather than the one with all your actual books.

Please ask support to merge the two profiles. Librarians cannot do it.
