J.D. Edwards Back in 2019, a librarian changed my username from J. D. Edwards to J.D. Edwards. Now, my books are being put under another author's account, and when I'm included in anthologies, these are linked to the other person's account. How can I get these books linked to me instead? Also, can my name be returned to the correct spelling please?

I see also that my new book coming out is going to be attributed to this same author. Please help!

J.D. Edwards My new book launches on December 5th. It would really be nice to have all this sorted before then.

J.D. Edwards This is the correct author dashboard it should be attributed to.

Shim Goodreads' author name policy is that there should not be any spaces between an author's initials (https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/...).

Your author name on Goodreads is "J.D.^^Edwards", where "^" represents a space; the extra space separates your page. Books that are auto-imported or added by others without the extra space will wind up on the default "J.D. Edwards" profile and you would need to ask a librarian to move them.

I have moved the books you linked to your profile.

Is there anything else here that belongs on your profile?

J.D. Edwards Since I am the only active J.D. Edwards account, can we make mine the default instead?

J.D. Edwards LOL. They told me to contact Librarian support.

Sandra Please remind support that you are a GR author, so they need to move your profile.

Librarians can't edit GR profiles.
