Books credited to wrong author, same name

[Jessica]

ETA: There is no "Is this you?" on any of my titles, because they have all been accredited to another author with the same name. In fact three different authors with the same name are all grouped under this one author's name. Please help.

Way back in 2015 I decided to start writing smutty stories. I picked out my name (Jessica Savage) and at that exact point there were no other author's with books on Amazon with that exact name. Between the time that I set up my kdp account and when I finally published my first novella, another author had published her first book as well. We had chosen the same name. But where my stuff is explicit and can be gross and weird, her stories are not. I need to differentiate my titles from hers here on Good Reads. I can add an initial for the middle name for future titles. (Which I guess I should, because it appears there's yet another author who's cropped up using the same name). Please guide me on what my next steps should be.

The primary author name on books on Goodreads must match the cover. If you publish new books with a middle initial they would be placed on a separate profile. You are certainly free to do that but all the existing books would still be listed under the original name (though we could put the new name as a secondary author).

You can claim your page using the link at the bottom where it says "Is this you? Let us know." You can find more information about the Goodreads Author program here. In that form you can indicate which books are yours.

If you cannot or do not want to claim the page, you can provide a list here of the books that should be moved off the page and we can clean it up. Books that are auto-imported under that name will land on this page by default, so future cleanups may be required as well.

Let me try this again. There are three authors with the name Jessica Savage. They are all put in together under one author name. There is no "Is this you?" on any of these books' pages because they have all been placed under this one author's name. None of them. All books under the name Jessica Savage - from 3 different authors! - are accredited to one author's account. None of which are mine. I have included every single book of mine in my above, original post if there is any doubt.

So, I can not claim the books as my own using "Is this you?"
Can someone please tell me what I need to do next to have my own books accredited to me.
They are accredited correctly on Amazon, if that helps this situation at all.

The "Is this you" is on the author page, not the book page.

Anyway, I have moved your books to a new profile, here:

Thank you!

Looks like it's not done yet. I had one more book that I either missed or it was just added (it is not released yet). Its credited to the author of the same name. When I tried to do the "Is this you" on the author page, it told me I already had an author's page. How can I get this fixed and stop it from happening in the future? Add the books myself before they are entered into Goodread's database?

At some point today you were approved for an author profile, so that's why it won't let you claim another. They are tied to the author rather than the book.
All you have to do is post here and we will move the book, which I have now done. I have deleted the ones that you created just now.

Thank you so much!
