The instructions are here: https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/...

Scroll down to "Separating authors with the same name"

Books that are automatically imported end up on the 1-space author profile. When an author only has one book, keeping that author on the 1-space profile will result in all imported books by an author with the same name ending up on that profile.
So instead of moving all the books except one from this profile, I've moved the actress to the 2-space profile (to keep the bio and the followers), and moved all books that are not hers to the 1-space profile. Deciding what the best strategy is, is not always so straightforward. I wouldn't recommend it for Librarians with little experience.

default profile: Casey Wilson
actress: Casey Wilson
(and there was another profile: Casey Wilson)
