J.Z. Zerber | 2 comments Hello, could a librarian please help with an author-link issue?

I’m trying to submit a Goodreads Giveaway for my book, *The Goldwyn County Candy Ban*, but the system keeps saying the book “belongs to a different author.” However, the public book page correctly shows me as the author.

Here are the relevant links:

Book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Author: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

This appears to be an issue with the underlying "work" page being attached to the wrong internal author ID. Could someone please manually correct this or reassign the work to my author profile?

I appreciate any help—thank you very much!

Contact support for issues regarding giveaways.

Hi J.Z.

Just a couple of things.

1. This folder is Questions (from Librarians only) this means that only Goodreads librarians are meant to post in this folder.

2. Giveaways are nothing to do with volunteer librarians. I've checked & you are correct - the book is correctly associated with you & that is all we can do, so you will need to contact Support.
