Abi May Hello librarians,

I need some help.

I just published my book and it shows up here on Goodreads:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Here's the ASIN and ISBN if needed:
ASIN: B0F7GNQMCY
ISBN: 979-8282099119

The only problem is that I cannot claim the book as mine because it has automatically attributed my work to another author with the same name.

Can I have it attributed to this account so I can claim it and create an author profile?

Shim It's an unclaimed default profile, you can either claim it (advantage being that your future books will land there automatically, downside is you might have to ask to get books removed from your profile from time to time), or I could move your book to a fresh profile that you can claim (auto-imported books will continue landing on this other profile).

When you fill out the form to claim a profile you can indicate books that don't belong to you.

You can claim the page using the link at the bottom where it says "Is this you? Let us know." You can find more information about the Goodreads Author program here.

Hi Shim! Thanks for your response! I've just claimed the page and selected my book as mine :)
