David Frankel | 5 comments Hi,
I am a contributor to this book and it has been wrongly attributed to an author with the same name. Would it be possible to re-attribute it? Thank you.

Valentine | 1974 comments Of course; all done*. You should see it on your author profile now, though it might just take twenty minutes or so for the author link on the book page itself to direct properly.

Goodreads differentiates authors of the same name with spaces; so your author profile is under David^^Frankel (^=one space). If you make sure that extra space is in your name when adding your own books, that will stop them from going to the wrong profile. If you add your own books via your author dashboard, it should add the correct amount of spaces automatically. (Please be assured no one can visibly see the extra space, it’s just the system Goodreads uses to keep the right books in the right places.)
