D.M. Sonntag | 7 comments Hello,

I submitted a request to link one of my books to my series and now the author profile link for those two books is not connected to my actual author profile. I have not changed my name or updated anything on my profile. This is my link: D. M. Sonntag Please connect this to my books The Lightning Bride and The Mermaid's Shadow

Thank you

I don't understand what I need to do. I haven't touched it. It was one author profile until yesterday.

It is corrected now. Goodreads support has corrected it. Please don't change it again. If you need assistance moving a book to your profile, a librarian can help you.

Changing your author profile name creates cascading issues, not the least of which is correct connectivity to your books.

Stephen Edwards (stephendedwards) My author name is Stephen D. Edwards whereas my profile name is missing the period on my initial. So when I add a book that I'm working on it adds it with Stephen D Edwards as the author. Can my profile be the author profile? Is there some way that I won't have to go through this process every time I want to add a new book?

Thank you in advance.

Stephen

You will need to have support correct your name to include the period.

Note: When adding books, please do not put something different in the sort-by title.

Stephen Edwards (stephendedwards) Sorry, Scott. Can you clarify what you mean?

You added your book and instead of letting the sort title fill in automatically you entered something else that was not the title. Just leave it blank when adding a book.
