Done. I don't know which one is the pirated copy. I combined the audiobook edition of Rockmonster Rules you linked with the other editions of the same book. If that one is a pirated copy please contact Goodreads support https://www.goodreads.com/about/conta...

Timothy Ellis | 66 comments The Rockmonster rules one I thought was a pirate version. The link for it goes nowhere. There is an audiobook version though.

It is not pirated and may just not be available on the site you clicked. I found it on Amazon and have changed it back to a valid record.

This is the audiobook the author linked https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... I didn't mark it as invalid. I combined it with the rest of the editions. I can't see that it was ever marked as invalid or status changed. This journal the author linked https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... was marked as valid again though shouldn't it be invalid? If you use the see inside feature on Amazon, it's a blank lined notebook.

Emily | 17693 comments That is my mistake. I thought "my" was referring to the author's "journal." Thanks for clarifying; sorry for the confusion.

Tami (tamicarvallo) | 6996 comments No worries!

Blanka H. Madow | 6 comments Hi,
this book has the wrong author, the author of this book still has to claim it to make an author page

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Can you remove the book from the current author.

Thank you

Done, it will take a while to show up correctly.

#422 Done. Except for Sweetest Obsessions, since you wrote Chasing Casey it should be in your profile as that is your book.


message 416: by Timothy (last edited Mar 10, 2023 06:22PM) (new)

Timothy Ellis | 66 comments Thanks Tami. All gone.

Just for information, but any book with "My Journal" in the title is probably a low content book using a random author name.

Before adding them to authors who have no history of low content books, perhaps the authors should be asked if it's theirs or not? Just suggesting.

I'll put a warning on my author forum about this, so others will check.

Books are imported automatically from Amazon to the person’s name. It doesn’t know that you are not the same person as the other “author.” This thread allows authors to request the books be moved, which only takes a moment. EDIT so it would probably be helpful to direct people to the group, indeed.

Under my book My Heart is Hurting, it shows "Other books by S.E. Reed". Two of the books are correct-- I have stories in both of those anthologies. However, it is listing a third book that is not mine. Strain Gage Users Handbook by R.L. Hannah (which I am not associated with).

Please remove that book. Thank you!

Done. It might take a while for all pages to update. For future reference, it's more helpful to link to the book that needs to be moved.

Gabriela Martin (gabriela_martin_phd) | 3 comments Hi, I have the opposite problem. Two of my books are listed under someone with the same name as me. I need them moved to my page please. Please, these are MY books. One of them is on the Amazon Bestsellers list and I truly would appreciate it if it was given back to me.

I have moved the books to a new profile. You will have to ask support to correct your name as it has been changed against policy.


message 435: by Gabriela (new)

Gabriela Martin (gabriela_martin_phd) | 3 comments I have moved the books to a new profile. You will have to ask support to correct your name as it has been changed against policy.

Against policy? That is my name and that is exactly how my name appears on all of my published books. What else do you all want? You are listing my books incorrectly under someone with a similar name. The only distinction is how my name is listed on my books.


message 436: by Gabriela (new)

Gabriela Martin (gabriela_martin_phd) | 3 comments The policy clearly states, "Authors with titles or degrees (such as Dr., Sir, Ph.D., Captain, Reverend, etc.) should NOT be included in the author name (unless necessary to avoid confusion, or if part of a recognized pen name (e.g., Dr. Seuss)." My PhD is part of my "pen name". It is how all of my books are published and it is clearly the only way to distinguish between myself and the other person with the exact same name. My books need to be moved to my page.


message 437: by Scott (last edited Mar 12, 2023 11:36AM) (new)

Scott | 10089 comments As you say, authors with titles or degrees (such as Dr., Sir, Ph.D., Captain, Reverend, etc.) should NOT be included in the author name. What you have is not a pen name.
