Anya Richardson | 3 comments Hello, I wonder if you can help.

Nick Udall - author of Riding the Creative Rollercoaster and The Way of Nowhere is mixed up in the Goodreads listing with Nick Udall who wrote New Horizons etc - what is the best way to get them listed separately with separate profiles?

Many thanks
Anya

gem | 2620 comments Hello,

Please tell me exactly which titles belong to Nick #1 and Nick #2, and I can create a new author profile for Nick #2 and move them over.

Note this does not require a Superlibrarian. Please post future requests like this in the "Book & Author Page Issues" section of the forum.

Anya Richardson | 3 comments Hi Gem,

I'm really grateful for the reply - and noted re where any future requests ought to go.

The books by Nick Udall #1 are :

1. Riding the Creative Rollercoaster - How Leaders Evoke Creativity, Productivity and Innovation
2. The Way of Nowhere: Eight Questions to Release My Creative Potential.
3. The way of nowhere

All the others are by Nick Udall #2 - I hope that's helpful and I'm so thankful for your help.

All the best
Anya

gem | 2620 comments I ended up creating a brand new author profile for Nick #1 and moving his books there:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

This way he is no longer the "default" Nick Udall, and future books auto-imported by bots won't get dumped into his profile.
