Rachel | 6 comments hi, i published my book yesterday and unfortunately it has been put under a different author. We actually have the same name so i understand the confusion. How do i rectify this situation? Thank you. The book is called Daughter Of The Gallows

You can claim the page using the link at the bottom where it says "Is this you? Let us know." You can find more information about the Goodreads Author program here.

This request is complete.

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

Note your author name on Goodreads is now "Rachel^^^^^Lewis" — where "^" represents a space. So if you're ever manually adding a book make sure to enter it like that. Or if editing an existing book, make sure not to modify the number of spaces in your name.

Scott | 9900 comments It might take time, sure. But it is showing as updated for me.
Maybe you could just wait a while.
