Shannon Marie | 2 comments Hi, I'm a debut author (my book is set to release September 19th, on Amazon). I went to go see if I could claim it on Goodreads and set up my author profile and was gobsmacked to see a different Shannon Marie claimed it as one of their own books! Even though it's not even the same genre as their other boos (and obviously not even written by this person, like come on!)

How do I create my author account with my book when someone else beat me to the punch in claiming it?

Book in question is A Quest for Wings and here's the link: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Scott | 9228 comments No one has claimed your book; it was simply uploaded (via automated process) to the default profile.

I have moved it to a new profile:

Shannon Marie | 2 comments Thank you Scott! I did not realize the books could be automatically added, I thought it was a manual process.
