Linking New Book to Existing Author Profile > Likes and Comments

I have an existing author profile set up with my debut novel, Between The Lines. For some reason, when Bad For Business was added to Goodreads it created an entirely new "Sarah R Chapman" author instead of linking it to my existing account. Since I didnt add Bad For Business myself, I'm not sure how this happened or how to fix it.

Also, as an aside, the cover displayed is incorrect. The typography was reset before the book was made available from the printer, but that's probably an issue for a different thread.

Hello Sarah, you will need to ask Goodreads staff to ‘merge’ the duplicate profile into your own; you have a follower on the other page, and that will allow that person to be moved across. I’m afraid librarians can’t merge profiles when one of them is claimed.

Bad for Business was added by the automated system, and has gone to a different profile because your name is stylised as Sarah R Chapman on Amazon, rather than Sarah R. Chapman. If editing your name on Amazon is something that is possible, that should reduce the risk of it happening for you again.

If you post in the Book Cover Help folder about your cover issue, I’m sure one of the librarians there will be able to help.
