Two Authors - Same name, need splitting
date
newest »


To split two authors with the same name,
go into the edit page of each of their books and add an additional space between their first and last name.
This will create a new author profile for the second author.
If by chance there is a third author of the same name (which has happened), simply add a third space between the author's first and last name.
Example:
Catherine^Anderson
Catherine^^Anderson
Catherine^^^Anderson
NOTE: The ^ = 1 space and is just used to demonstrate the number of spaces. Also please note that any new books by the authors of that name will be entered into the main profile by default. They will have to be edited once they are added to Goodreads to shift them to the right profile.
