This book is not mine, please move it (part 17)
Hello, I never contributed as a writer to this book. This is an author with a similar name. I am Sharonda M Thomas. Please remove this item from my profile: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
Hi, I'd like the book 300m moved to my author profile as it is currently attributed to another author with the same name:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
Thank you!

#41 (Aarushi) I don't know why I thought the books had been removed from your profile when they haven't been.Could you write the Hindustani version of your name here please? That needs to go on the Hindustani edition of your book.
Edit; another librarian supplied this info, so it has been done.
#46 (Justin) The book record looks a bit weird, but others with this imprint are definitely books, so have shifted. This bokk may take a couple of days to shift, but as you can see in this view it has gone.https://www.goodreads.com/author/list...
Check the list. Are all the books yours?
#47 Moved by a staff member. Please only ask in one place, as things are a bit behind here.
#48. Done. Please allow at least 20 minutes for this change to display.
#49 (Marcus) One of the books that isn't yours is quite the mess. Since there isn't an author credited, I have used the publisher name.
The other two books (actually the same book, but different editions) I have shifted off your profile. They may take time to completely disappear, but as you can see in this view, it has been done.
https://www.goodreads.com/author/list...
#50 Scott You have a regular members profile. Can you tell me which books are yours & I will shift them.

This is the only book that I have written and thus the only book I would have tied to my Author Page:

You have been given the default profile for your name, so this will just keep happening if I did that.
I would recommend linking to your comment where you say only one book is yours when you next contact Support.

Thanks a bunch, Carol She's So Novel!
Can you completely delete "That Which Cannot Be Broken" too?
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
It has been unpublished from Amazon for years, but I withheld this request until now for fear of creating confusion.
Thanks again,
Chris
Hello! I didn't work on this book; can you please remove it from my profile?https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
#41 (Aarushi) you hadn't come back to the thread, I've asked my question in the languages & translation folder.https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... Could you answer it there please to avoid derailing this thread. :)
I've removed the books you requested. Please allow at least 20 minutes for them to disappear from all views, but as you can see from this view it has been done.

#51 (Christopher, apologies for addressing you as Marcus before)1. This thread is only for removing books that are not on an author's profile - or adding them to an author's profile if they are on the wrong profile.
2. Goodreads is not a selling platform, it was designed for readers to record their reads. So we don't remove published books.
I've changed the description slightly to make it clear that the book is no longer available for purchase.
@ Carol She Is So Novel:So there is no way for me to remove a book that no longer exists (it was solely published digitally) from my own author profile?!

No. Goodreads was created for readers to record their reads. If we remove books, then the site loses its value for readers - which will in turn makes it not of value to authors.

Hello, please remove this book from my profile. (I was the freelance copy editor for the manuscript, not the compiler as with an anthology.)https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

I understood you the first time. I asked again because it makes zero sense to me. But I'm not going to derail this thread further, so I will just have to take this up with your advertising dep.
- thank you for your help so far in cleaning up my profile. I do appreciate your prompt response.

I'm reasonably confident these 2 works involved 2 different Vivian Setons & so a second author page should be created.

Hi. I just self published my book on KDP this week, and it is currently listed under a different author page. My book is entitled Seven Lessons From Seven Layoffs: A Guide and listed here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
It is currently listing another Brenda Peterson as the author.
My book needs to be removed from this Brenda Peterson's author page: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
The book needs to be added to my author page.
I'm not sure if I have my author page created yet. I have my information entered.
let me know what else you need from me!

Hello. The following books are not mine, but are from another author with the same name. Moreover, the last three books appearing on this list are repeat entries that were never removed in answer to a previous request. I would therefore appreciate it if you could remove them all at your earliest convenience. With thanks and regards.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

Done. You should probably contact support and asked to be moved from the default profile for your name, or the bot will put everything with that name on your profile.
#102 also done
Hi,I found this book on my author profile - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
I do have a book by that name, but the publisher 'Briarwood Cottage' is not me, it's not my cover and the ASIN doesn't seem to exist. Could you please remove from my profile?
Thanks so much!
