Goodreads Librarians Group discussion

Hi,

I'm a Goodreads Author with profile: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show....

When I use the "Add Quote" form, the autocomplete for "Vinita Bansal" selects a different author with the same name instead of my author profile. Because of this, it only shows books listed by this other author. Can you please associate the quote submission form with my author profile or advise how to submit quotes for the correct author?

Thanks,
Vinita

Hi Vinita
In future if you have a question about site functionality could you contact Support or go to Help.

But I'll answer this one as I have an idea for you!

If you want to stick with your existing profile you need to put 2 spaces between your first & last names when adding a quote. Spaces between names is how Goodreads disambiguates same name authors.

Easier is to go to your profile page. Scroll down to Quote by Vinita Basal. Click on Add one now

But I had a look at the default person with your name. They aren't a Goodreads author & the book was created in 2018. So you could ask Support to swap you over. Don't add any quotes until you are swapped as I don't think they will go with you. & your followers won't go with you.

But if you decide you would like to do it click on the link below for Support (Staff)
