Reclaiming my books that have appeared on Goodreads as 'unknown author'

[Melinda]

Several of my books ('Ko Pekakiwi' ISBN 9781775437390 and 'Kua Kore he Moa, e Hoa' ISBN 9781775437871 ) have turned up on Goodreads with 'unknown author' and I would love some advice on how I can 'reclaim' these. I am assuming once they are under my name I can add the illustrator and translators names as well?

Thank you

Ok, fixed as far as I can

It will take at least 20 minutes for the changes I have made to display.

One minor problem is that GR prefers the descriptions to be in the language the books are written, but Aotearoa has the descriptions in English

Let me know the other details if you find you can't add them.

& I will need to combine these books with the English language versions if you can tell me the titles.

That is wonderful news - Thank you so much!! I can provide te reo blurbs for the books and fill in any other blanks. The English versions are 'Batkiwi' (ISBN 9781775437116) and 'There Are No Moa, e Hoa' (ISBN 9781775437833).

cheers

OK, I have combined & gone as far as I can. It is important that the illustrator's name be exactly the same as on the cover of the books (Isobel not Izzy) so the books go to her author profile.

I also need the name of your translator & some page counts.

On one of the books the system is refusing to let me enter the ISBN10. Another librarian told me that could be because a bot is working on something in the background.

I'll try again tomorrow otherwise I'll see if support can fix it.

I've had a go at editing the details for Ko Pekakiwi including a te reo description. Will wait to see if the changes stick. Thanks again for your help. :-)

Thats ok.
I still can't get the ISBN for one of the books to add, but I have a busy day today so I will contact Support tomorrow.

& Support contacted. They are usually pretty prompt with these sorts of edits.

Thank you so much!! Both books are now where they should be and independently searchable - I am extremely grateful for your help :-)
