Hello, I tried to add my book to my profile, but it was already assigned to another author with a similar name.
I also made the mistake of creating an unfinished version of the book with a similar name.
Could you please reassign the book to my name? And delete the one I made?
Also, how can I avoid my books going automatically to another author?

Thank you!

The only way to avoid books on the wrong profile is to add them yourself before the import. In such a case you must include the ASIN or ISBN, or a duplicate will import anyway.

Lara Bronson | 13 comments I understand. I will do so from now on.

Thank you so much for the prompt response.
I appreciate it.

Have a great day!

Lara Bronson | 13 comments Hello, my assistant has published the other books from my series The Vampire Genesis Chronicles and I forgot to tell them to add them to Goodreads first. Is it possible to add Book 2 Bitten by Magic, Book 3 Bitten by Love, Book 4 Bitten by Hope to my name?

Thank you so much,
Lara

Lara Bronson | 13 comments They have been added to an author with the same name (Lara Bronson). Can I still add my new books through the template?

Jessica Lauren (jessicalaurenauthor) | 2 comments Hi! I uploaded my new book to KDP, and when I went on to add it to Goodreads, I saw that its data must have automatically uploaded, but is connected to the wrong author.

The book is Lessons in History: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Can you please connect it with my author account?

Thanks!

Done, next time please start your own thread. This thread is originally about a year old and is linked to a different author. Everyone gets a notification for this when someone comments. Don't post your request under another author's request. This is for all people in this thread, not only you by the way. I didn't realize this when I replied to this on the 6th.
