Alana (alanakayauthor) | 14 comments Hello,

My upcoming audiobook The Last Wish (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0F... ) is attributed to the wrong author—we share the same name. Can this be moved to my author profile?

The Last Wish (Lost Legacy Book 1): https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
My author profile: https://www.goodreads.com/alanakayauthor

This happens every single time I publish something (3-5 times a year) and I'm adding audiobook editions to my back catalogue, so it's about to be happening even more often. I don’t think the other Alana Kay is actively publishing. Is there any way to prevent this from happening every time? I’m happy to do whatever is required to make it easier.

Thank you for the help!

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

If you're adding books yourself, make sure to enter your name as "Alana^^Kay", where "^" represents a space. Otherwise if they are auto-imported someone will have to move them for you.

You could try contacting Goodreads Support and asking them to swap your profile with the default one, as long as you don't mind occasionally getting someone else's books on your profile. Though I don't know if they'd do it.

Thank you! I'll try that!
