DL White


Hello,

I am looking for some guidance on combining two different profiles: the one I post under when i list books that aren't submitted to Amazon as a preorder and the books that are auto imported from Amazon.

Books from Amazon come up as DL White, which looks like DL_White.

Books I list come up as D.L. White. I'm unable to edit anything that comes up under DL_White.

Everytime I publish a book I have go through this dance with Goodreads to move my books to a profile where I can manage covers, and update blurbs. I would have no problem sorting and denoting which should be the default edition, but I have to have access to them.

is there anyway to combine these profiles into one that I can manage? Or can someone move these books under DL_White to my profile?

For example I am trying to manage two entries for last year's release, Missing Persons:

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

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

and I have an upcoming release that now has two entries because I listed it for pre-order. There has to be a way to better manage this than having double entries for each book. This makes me not want to list a book at Amazon.

Help?

If you correct your name on Amazon, this won't happen again in the future.

D.L. White | 27 comments What do you mean correct my name on Amazon? It's DL White on Amazon. Amazon is the only place it's actually RIGHT.

In what way does this answer my question, or provide support?

The RIGHT way to write initials is with punctuation.
