Wrong Author?

[Ellen]

I think that this book is not written by the Julia Cameron of "The Artist's Way" and others of the same spiritual and creative orientation. Would someone please check it out? There are others listed that are attributed to Julia Cameron that don't seem to be of her type. Thanks so much!

You know, that was my first instinct as well, but from its description it didn't seem like a typical Julia Cameron. Did you see the other books listed that also don't seem to be written by her? Thanks so much.

Yes, Jackie Renee, I've read several of her books. I love The Artist's Way because it offers exercises and techniques one can use to get the creative juices flowing, and not just for art - for writing or any other creative endeavor. Her books about writing are also excellent! Thanks so much!

It's also NOT in line with GR policy. I changed it back to comply with GR policy and changed the Note.

Disambig'd out the paper.

but the author's name is JT Harding, not J.T. Harding. Can you please explain the policy that goodreads has in place that makes it ok to CHANGE AN AUTHOR'S NAME???

Printed on the cover of her books is JT Harding...that is how he author prefers for her name to be marketed. Here is her website http://jt-harding.com/books/

Can you please explain the reasoning behind this "policy"?

Consistency.

I am sorry, I am not trying to be combative, but if the author's name is marketed with no periods it stands to reason that GoodReads should honor the author's wishes and not change it because of a "policy for consistency".

That is all I will say about that - it just seems a little ridiculous to me.

HI, I'm trying to get an adjustment done on a book listing, "Coyote's Pup" isbn 1467942898 is showing with author A. M. Burns as opposed to A.M. Burns the extra space between the A and the M is causing the book to not show up in my list of published works. Any help would greatly be appreciated.
