Dave McKenna | 4 comments Hi, I’m unable to apply for the Author program, as it appears someone with the same name has already claimed/been assigned with my books.

They are called ‘The Code’ and the currently unreleased ‘The Killer & The Catalyst’.
Is there a way of assigning them to my profile so that I can proceed with the program application, please?

Thank you in advance! :)

You can claim the page using the link at the bottom where it says "Is this you? Let us know." You can find more information about the Goodreads Author program here.

This request is complete.

Please edit the title / subject of your post and add [done] so other Librarians know it is complete.

Dave McKenna | 4 comments I’m a little confused. All that is at the bottom of the page is ‘More books by Dave McKenna’ and at the top, Follow Author. I’ve tried on both the app, and the desktop version of Goodreads.

Is it anything to do with my account being linked to Amazon?

Shim (slimmy) | 3941 comments That's the mobile website. You'd need to be using the desktop version of the site. In any mobile web browser there is an option to request the desktop version of a website.

Here's a direct link to the form: https://www.goodreads.com/author/auth...
