Aria Bell | 4 comments Hi there!

Amazon automatically added my book to the Goodreads database, but it's attributed to another Aria Bell who already has a body of work here.

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

I'm still waiting on a response (it's only been a day, it's all fine) to get my print edition of this book added, but hopefully that topic being posted in the other board is enough proof that this belongs to me! Can we change the listed author over to me, and is there something I can do to avoid this in the future?

Thank you!

Greg | 9641 comments Done - you've been moved to a new profile.

To claim your book, click where it says "Is this you? Let us know." This will initiate the process and if approved, your user profile will be merged into the author profile.

Unfortunately, this will happen each time you publish a new book. Amazon imports into the default profile. You'll just need to post a request to move the book to your profile.

Manually adding new books is a bit backed up right now, so please be patient.

Please edit the title / subject of your post and add [Done] so other librarians know it is complete.

Thank you very much Greg! No worries about the wait time for adding books, I totally get it.
