Michael Bailey My new book which debuts in June has been automatically assigned to the wrong author by my same name.

Elvenn Moved to a new profile: Michael Bailey.

To claim the author profile, go to the profile following the link I've posted (the change may take a little to show on the book), scroll to the bottom and click "Is this you? Let us know".

I am a verified Goodreads Author, but I have two duplicate profiles. My books are on an unclaimed profile, while my verified account is linked to an empty profile.
Please merge these two IDs into my verified account.
Verified (Empty) ID: 59279310
Unclaimed (with books) ID: 51554529
Thank you!

Elvenn Duplicate profile merged!

If you wish to claim the author profile, go to Reka Emma V. Chu, scroll to the bottom and click "Is this you? Let us know".

Reka I tried, but I get this: Sorry, you are already in the author program as Reka Emma V. Chu and only one author profile may be claimed at a time.

Elvenn You should explain the problem to Support. I'm sure they'll be able to match your claimed profile with your books, which are at least now all on the same place.

Librarians can move books around but can't move followers or fix issues with claimed profiles or the author program, I'm not even being shown any claimed profile, perhaps because, as you said, it's verified but empty.

Your current claimed author page is "Reka Emma^^V. Chu" ie extra space between "Emma" and "V." but your books did not have the extra space (which is correct). I have moved one of your books back to your profile so your page stops showing up as a user page and sent a request to Goodreads Support to correct the spacing issue and merge the profiles

Shim Done

Also in the future please start a new thread instead of responding to an unrelated thread.

Michael Bailey I get this notification when attempting to claim it.

Elvenn #9 Hi! It looks like your books are in two different profiles and you've already claimed one of them. I've asked Support to merge both profiles into the one you've claimed (librarians can't merge claimed profiles).
