Ellie Ash | 6 comments Hi,

When my first book came out for pre-order, I discovered there was another Ellie Ash who'd just published (plus one who did a coloring book in 2023). I got us split and claimed my author and book spot here on GoodReads. But now the pre-order for my second book is showing up under the other Ellie Ash.

Can this book:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Be added to this author:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

And this series:
https://www.goodreads.com/series/4174...

Also, do you know if this will happen for every book I write? Is there any way to direct books from my Amazon Ellie Ash to go to the correct GoodReads Ellie Ash?

Or if this is all something I can do myself, please let me know. I couldn't see how to do it with an already existing book.

Thank you!

Ellie

When books are added directly from Amazon the bot has no way of distinguishing between authors using the same name. The only way to prevent this would be to add the books yourself with full ASIN and ISBN details before the bot gets to it.

Thank you! I'll see if I can beat the bot next time, or I'll know to come here right away and ask. :)
