J.C. Harroway | 12 comments Hi
Please can you help me resolve this issue once and for all.
I seem to have TWO author profiles, JC Harroway and J.C. Harroway.
My books are often uploaded by my publisher and I have no control over which version they use. Consequently half my books are under one profile, the other half the other. Yet I am only one person, one author.
Is it possible to have these two profiles merged into one?
Thanks so much for your help,
Jo aka JC Harroway

Shim (slimmy) | 3683 comments I have requested Goodreads Support merge the profile (https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...) into yours.

The "JC Harroway" version of your name comes from Amazon (https://www.amazon.ca/stores/JC-Harro...)

Goodreads policy is to put periods after initials in author names.

Unless you can change your name on Amazon it will continue occurring whenever your books are auto-imported and you can post here to move books or contact support to merge the profiles again if there are a lot. The alternative is to add new books yourself with the correct name and ISBN/ASIN before they are auto-imported.

This request is complete.

Please edit the title / subject of your post and add [done] so other Librarians know it is complete.
