Ruxandra Tarca | 11 comments Hello,

Please, I need help with removing my name as a translator from the titles mentioned in the links below, because this issue affects me as an author. These translated titles appear on top of my author page and I am stuck with them. I do not wish my name listed as a translator, because the books I wrote ended up at the bottom of my author page. I would like to have listed on my author page only the books I write, NOT those I translate.

Therefore, I would like my name removed from the following titles:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Thank you in advance!

I understand, but I also do not want them to appear first on my author page. I would like my books to be first, not the translations. Can this be done, at least? I never asked for my translator name to be displayed on the book's page. At least, the translators should be asked whether or not they agree to this (e.g.: there may be titles they do not want listed in their portfolios). Is there a solution to this situation? Many thanks!

lethe | 16368 comments The order of books on your page is determined by the number of ratings. Since this is a site functionality issue, it is not something librarians have control over.

You could make a suggestion to Support to change the book order to primary authored first, secondary authored or contributed to last. (I actually seem to recall it used to be like that in the past.)
