Goodreads Librarians Group discussion

The book "Cinderella's Broken Slipper" is listed as being written by the Sapphire that wrote "Precious". It's not. Can someone please take it off her page? Thank you.

Having no last name or the like, made it a little harder to separate it from the other Sapphire... It 's no longer on her profile and can be found under Sapphire*

Hi - I hope I'm posting to the right discussion.

A book of mine - Teach Yourself Complete Screenwriting Course - has somehow been attributed to another Charles Harris, and I can find no way to add it to my own list of books. Help would be appreciated.

Charles Harris

re 4, i've moved it to your profile. FYI, Goodreads uses extra spaces to disambiguate authors with otherwise identical names. You are Charles^^^Harris, where ^ is a space. The extra spaces are invisible to users, but they are used behind the scenes to direct books to your particular profile. The downside to this system, however, is that when books are imported automatically in bulk from other databases, your books will appear on the default, single-space profile. If you see any more of your books in the wrong place, feel free to post in this group again to have them moved.

Thank you very much. Shall do. I have a novel coming out next year, so I'll watch out for that.

Hello, again.
My second book Snow White's Kiss, has been placed under the wrong author. (There has to be an easier way to do this, lol). Just need it moved over under my name.

Hello, my February 2015 release has been listed under the wrong Alison Stone. I'd appreciate help in moving it to my profile:

Thank you!

#8 is done

Thank you, Debbie.

#7 done & I created the series.

Yea! I appreciate it. Thank you so much!

Hello -

I need some help. I am the co-author of the book below.

The Reluctant Brides of Lily Court Lane

And I have an author profile. However, I cannot associated my author profile to my name under "Author". There looks to be another Susan Chan that wrote a couple of other books and I am not affiliated with those titles.

How can I get my author profile associated with my book? Please advise.

Thank you,
Susan

re 13, Goodreads uses extra spaces to disambiguate authors with otherwise identical names. The author profile you claimed is Susan^^^Chan, where ^ is a space. Without the extra spaces, your books will be linked to the wrong profile. I have updated that book to include the extra spaces.

There is a book under my name that is not mine. It must be another Sue Warner. This is the book. Can you please delete it? Making Amends: Justice for Victims and Offenders: An Evaluation of the Sacro Reparation and Mediation Project
by Sue Warner, Martin Knapp

#16 I separated the book to another profile.
You haven't claimed your author profile yet. You can go so by clicking on the link "let us know" at the bottom of this page:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Could you please help me. The narrator name isn't spelled right for this book.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

It should be Greg Tremblay not Grey Tremblay.

See http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00M....

18 Done.

Thanks!

There seems to be two authors named C.J. Hart. This is me: C.J. Hart and this is my book: The Hunted. This is not mine: In for the Kill: A True Story of Hunting Evil

Thank you in advance!

#21 done

These two books:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

are written by a blogger named David Cain who doesn't yet have a Goodreads page (not by the theologian of the same name they're listed under). Thank you!

#23 - Done.

Moved to "David^^Cain" where ^=space

Please remove "RVing in Alaska" from my books. Wrong Sandra Jones.

#25 - Done, removed Sandra Jones entirely. RVing in Alaska is not an anthology or other collaboration, and GR policy is not to list editors except in those cases.

I did not write this book but it's listed under my author profile. Please remove me as author. Thanks! https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

#27 moved to correct profile

Gracias, Koenraad!

I just uploaded my first book this morning. It was put under another author with the same name. It's name is Ella's Love by Jasmine Lee

This is my first and only book so far. Can someone help in getting my own author pg w/my book?

Link to book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

A separate profile is here: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Please note that this profile has two spaces between the first and last names, so: Jasmine^^Lee. This is to disambiguate it from other authors with the same name. When adding any books in the future, just type your name with two spaces and it should be added to the correct profile. :)

ETA: info on claiming your profile here: https://www.goodreads.com/author/program

Thank you :D

How do I edit the profile? It says I have to be a librarian. Do I have to in order to edit my profile as a author?

Yes, I went there but I still cant upload a photo or write anything like my website etc...

Go to your profile page and scroll down to the "Is this you? Let us know." link. It will take you to an application page. It will take a few days to process and approve your application and after that you will be able to edit your profile. If you don't hear anything within a week, you'll probably want to contact support here https://www.goodreads.com/about/conta..., and ask them to look at your application.

k, thank you for your help.

Searching ISBN 0465024319 brings up a book that is mistitled and has the wrong author. I have added To Make Men Free: A History of the Republican Party by Heather Cox Richardson, but that ISBN brings up an entry that has a picture of the cover of her book, but is listed as Republicans by Richard Hea.

Correction: author shows up as Richardson Hea.

38/39 fixed

Yes, I added my new book. It's titled Ella's Love to my list the other day. I checked it afterwards and it was in the correct place. But now it isn't. Now it's under another profile with the same name.

My profile: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Ella's Love: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

This is after one of y'all fixed it, so IDK why it moved.

41: Fixed. Your name has two spaces in between, not three.

Thank you so much!
