Adam Stone | 3 comments Hello, I am the editor of And Keep That Going: 25 Years Of Poetry Slam At The Cantab Lounge, and my book is listed as being written by a different Adam Stone.

I'm sure he's lovely, and he's written a ton of books, but I'd like the book to point to my profile instead.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

amaldae (staticatku) | 593 comments Do you have other books listed on Goodreads? I see you haven't claimed an author profile.

Adam Stone | 3 comments I do not yet. I would like to use this book as a launching point so that I can post others. I thought I had done this when I originally posted And Keep That Going: 25 Years Of Poetry Slam At The Cantab Lounge.

amaldae (staticatku) | 593 comments Goodreads disambiguates authors with the same name but adding extra spaces between the first name(s) and the surname, which is something the import bots unfortunately do a bad job with (they tend to dump everything on the default profile). I have created a new profile for you to claim here: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show.... There are four spaces between Adam and Stone, in case you need to request other books to be moved there in the future.

Adam Stone | 3 comments Thank you so much! I really appreciate it.

If you check my page in a couple of hours you'll see at least two proudly queer books: One a memoir, the other an adult themed book for adults who behave like children.
