Camilla | 337 comments I've never encountered an author name/profile like this before, so asking for advice, especially since it's a GR author. This author has two names in her profile, separated by a solidus. Should these two names be separated, or is there something I don't understand regarding her profile?
Misty Paquette / Misty Provencher

There is also a single name profile for Misty Paquette, which contains some of the same books - albeit different editions - as the two-name profile.

Emily | 17486 comments The author's name will have to be changed by Goodreads Support. An author can't have two names in their profile like this. The ones under just Misty Paquette probably automatically imported that way. When someone changes the author name like this, staff are the only ones who can change it back.

Camilla | 337 comments Yes, thought so too. Informed support. Thanks Emily!

It probably needs to be changed to this, and the books sorted to be combined under the author name that the books were first published under. Hopefully Support will sort all of that out.
