Luci (elkiedee) | 82 comments There are two authors called Kate Thompson.
(1) is a YA author
(2) writes chicklit

Some copies of several books by (2) have been attributed to (1) and I can't see how to correct it (it came up because I searched for The Kinsella Sisters by (2).

Marisa (moretta) | 127 comments I've corrected "Sex, Lies and Fairytales" and "The Kinsella Sisters", the only ones I've been able to check. If there's any other, please, write the book.

Sandra | 31515 comments Luci, we disambiguate authors by adding a space between their first and last names.

Librarian Manual

If there are a lot of books you can do a clean up from the author's edit page.

If you have any problems, post again :)


Lee (of Shalott) | 184 comments How do I change a bio to include an initial but not so that it loses data for the non-initialled author?
There are two Michael O'Hanlons -
Michael E. O'Hanlon is a foreign policy analyst
Michael O'Hanlon is an anthropologist
All the books remaining under Michael O'Hanlon's bio page http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
are for the anthropologist Michael O'Hanlon, but the bio is actually for Michael E. O'Hanlon. Thanks for your advice.
