A.G.S. Johnson (agsjohnson) I have multiple issues. 1) Whoever set up my author profile accidentally inputed the wrong initials. My profile says A.J.S, but my correct initials are AGS, and 2) My book has been entered, The Sausage Maker's Daughters, and attributed to A.G.S. Johnson but it's not linked to my account!

I would like my author profile to say AGS (not A.G.S.) Johnson, and to be able to link to my book ASAP. My book releases February 7th, and this is awkward to say the least. I've tried to change my name but it says a librarian is required to make the change. I asked a librarian, but for some reason she was not able to change it either.

Please HELP! Time is critical as my publicity team is helping spread the word about my book.

Thank you!

Your middle initial has been corrected, and your book is now properly linked.

Goodreads policy for all author names is for authors with initials in their names to have a period after each initial (and no spaces between).


A.G.S. Johnson (agsjohnson) Wow, I just noticed my profile name change, thank you for the quick response!

I understand, thank you again!

Happy to help. :)

(For future reference, notes on the author page only show up if you're already editing it OR if you are combining editions. The best place to get help with book issues and such is right here.)
