Goodreads Librarians Group discussion

I found that one of my books, Do Not Stop, is showing up under the wrong author page: Derek Jones. The correct author page is Derek T. Jones.

The other issue is that I changed the title and cover once since I originally published it. On Amazon, it still has the same ASIN. Would this be considered a separate Goodreads edition? In any case, here are its present details:

* Title: The Long Last Night of the Late Phil Saunderson
* Previous title: Do Not Stop
* Author name: Derek T. Jones
* ASIN: B00IQXV5CU
* Publisher: Amazon Digital Services
* Publication date: March 1, 2014
* Format: Kindle edition
* Page count: 161 pages

The description is the same.

Thanks,
Derek T. Jones

Done. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
Yes it would be a new edition. (see #3 in the link below)
See #4 to set which one is the default edition. https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Changed ACE pub date. Please see https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Thank you both! Per the procedure, I set the latest edition to be the default edition.

A follow-up question: I see that I have the ability to provide the ASIN to the latest edition. However, it will be the same as the previous edition. Is that all right, or should I transfer the ASIN from the old to the new?

The system will not allow you to add an ASIN already taken by another edition. And Goodreads policy is that the first edition added to the database keeps the ASIN (or ISBN).

Not sure what you mean by ASIN; it's a paperback with an ISBN. Regardless, this is not something librarians can assist with. The book is listed correctly, even though it's showing up under the wrong author on your most read authors list. Librarians can help with issues pertaining to specific book records needing correction or most related issues, but have no control over general site functionality or related issues.

Hello,

I don't often go to my GoodReads page. To be honest, I had forgotten about all the great features on Dashboard, etc. I noticed a few books that are not mine. Could I have the following books removed from my author page:
A Journey Begins, Fate's Needle, Moira, Winds of Moira, Plenary Fitness Books (Simple Cures, 10 Minute Body).
These are all written by Lawrence Sylou-Creutz Ojermark,
on my author page: Chase Blackwood.
Thank you!

working on #8
stopped working. I changed all of 10 Minute Body to the author name on cover. And, two versions of A Journey Begins which also had Lawrence on the cover but the third version has Chase Blackwood so now I'm confused.

I'll halt here until a more experienced librarian jumps in. And, perhaps you can provide more details about the name change.

added the pen name Lawrence Sylou-Creutz Ojermark, but left Chase Blackwood

(logs show author changed named)

I did cover art, Lawrence wrote the books. I don't want these books to be accredited to me.
Thank you!

Lawrence Sylou-Creutz Ojermark is not a pen name, it is a different person than Chase Blackwood. I would like the books with Lawrence's name on it removed from my Author Page. Is that possible?

cover artists are not listed as authors, but some book have Chase Blackwood on cover, those will not be removed from your profile.

Thank you
