Greg | 108 comments I'm writing here only as a user, not a representative of this Goodreads author. The author's Web address is out of date and now redirects to another Web site. However, the author maintains another Web site here which could be used instead: https://dalecameronlowry.wordpress.com/.

The linked blog post that is embedded in Lowry's author page also has nothing to do with Lowry or his blog.

I don't think Support can fix this either. Goodreads authors are responsible for maintaining their own author page. If they can't fix the entry from the 23/11/23, the author themselves need to contact Goodreads Support to ask for their assistance.

Shim (slimmy) | 3653 comments Personally, I have sent similar requests to support before and they have updated the author pages without issue. I think given that the linked page on the author's page is clearly redirecting to a spammy webpage, they will probably update it.

Greg | 108 comments Thanks for responding, Carol and Shim! I'll contact GR Support about it as you suggest, Shim.
