Deepak Patel (deepakpatel) | 11 comments Hello, Goodreads Team,

My book has been published and I would like to kindly request converting my Goodreads account into an official author profile.

If somebody can tell me how do I go about it would be grateful.

Thanks!

Deepak Patel (deepakpatel) | 11 comments My Paper back and hardback books have different ISBNs so how can I have them linked to my same Author profile? ShallI send you links to both and somebody can maybe help link them both to my author account? Would my current account be converted to Author account? Thanks!

Scott | 16654 comments I have already instructed you how to apply for the author profile. Yes, if you are approved your current profile will be converted.

Deepak Patel (deepakpatel) | 11 comments Thanks so much for quick replies.

When I find my book and click on the author, I see there's another author with his separate set of books listed. So I cant click on the "IS this you?" link.

My personal profile is this, the one I am sending these messages from. And my first book thats been published is below with their ISBNs:

Paperback: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
ISBN: 9798253206034

Hardback: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
ISBN: 9798253336175

Kindle Edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Can you please help me with this?

Thanks!

Scott | 16654 comments Telling us what book it was from the start would have saved some trouble.

I have moved it to a new profile.

Deepak Patel (deepakpatel) | 11 comments Sorry mate. There's been confusion for me all over due to the Author name clashes. I also have same issues on the Amazon Author Central.

I have filled in the "Is this you" form on GoodReads now. Thanks for the help!
