Sebastian Priest Hey there. My books Wrath of the Baron and the City of Chains Omnibus have mistakenly been added to the Goodreads page of another author with the same name. Is it possible to take them and add them to my Goodreads page?

Here is the author whose profile they were mistakenly added under.

My books keep getting automatically added to this author. I'm not sure if there's any way to change it so that they automatically go under my name?

Sebastian Priest Guys, sorry, this is kind of the second time I've posted about this in the last few days and no one replied. I'm not sure if i accidentally made this post in the wrong area, but I'm hoping to get this fixed sooner. Without reviews attributed to the right author, my recent launch isn't going to do as well.

Marilyn Barr Hello! There are two listings for my book, Tied to Ms. Krampus, with two different covers and two different Marilyns. Can you please combine them with the correct cover and author?

Listing 1 with correct cover but wrong author: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Listing 2 with incorrect cover but correct author: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Thank you so much!

Did you ask support to put you on the default profile, as I suggested to you in July?

Sebastian Priest Hey, Scott. Yeah, I've been struggling with this issue for a while but the most I've gotten is a fix where I have to ask each time to have it moved manually. I'm not sure if it's finicky on Support's side? Apparently it's the old issue where my profile has a certain number of spaces between my name and surname and the books get logged under a seb priest with a different number. I think i'm the guy with 3 spaces?

Shim @Sebastian, I have sent a request to Support on your behalf.

Shim @Marilyn — done. In the future, please start a new thread.

Sebastian Priest Thank you so much, Shim. The help's immensely appreciated.


message 10: by Shim (new)

Shim Yours is now the default (and only) profile for your name


message 11: by Sebastian (new)

Sebastian Priest Perfect. Thank you so much, Shim!
The only other thing I wanted to ask is about adding Wrath of the baron to my City of Chains series. It's attached to my profile but not the series page. Will that kick in after a while or do we need to do it manually?


message 12: by Shim (new)

Shim Done

Yes it is a manual process.

Emma Styles Edit: will post a new thread, haven't been here for a while and forgot how to navigate this.

Hello, one of the editions of my new book The Shark is showing as attributed to the other Emma Styles. This is the Pegasus Crime Kindle edition, all the others are correct. It doesn't come up on her author page but she's listed as the author if I click on the edition.

Thanks a lot, Emma

Eden James Hi, my book is showing on another authors page:

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

Can this please be assigned to me? Is there anyway of changing this as every time I add a new book it gets assigned to this other author with the same name.
