Marco Reyes (esmarcoreyes) | 3 comments Hi everyone,
I am an author, and my Goodreads profile has been mixed up with books from other authors who share my name ("Marco Reyes"). Since my catalog has quite a few incorrect entries, it is much easier to list the only books that actually belong to me.
Could a librarian please help me clean up my profile so that ONLY my actual books remain on it?
My official profile link: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

THESE ARE MY ONLY 4 BOOKS (Please KEEP these on my profile):
1. Tu asesino
2. Talión, bitácora de un asesino
3. Los monstruos vencen
4. Donde arde lo tibio

PLEASE REMOVE EVERYTHING ELSE:
Any book currently on my profile that is NOT one of the four titles listed above belongs to another author.

Thank you so much for your time and for helping me keep my author profile accurate!

Ken Wilson (kenwilsonwriter) | 1 comments Hello,

Another writer named Ken Wilson has been given credit for my forthcoming book, Walking Well: Trails, Paths, Pilgrimages, on Goodreads. How can I fix this problem? How did it happen in the first place? Do I have to prove my authorship somehow, and if so, how?

Thank you,

Ken Wilson

Renske | 12795 comments Moving books between profiles doesn't require a superlibrarian, please post your requests in the 'Book & Author Page Issues' folder of this group.

Books are automatically imported to the default profile for a name and need to be moved manually if they belong to another author with the same name.

Tawnya | 4970 comments Marco, I asked support to move you out of the default profile. You now have the 2-space profile. Readers will not see a difference. In the future, the bots may put your books into what is now the default. You will then need to ask to have them moved. Many times, that is not necessary, but Amazon's bots are worse than GoodReads. I just wanted to warn you of the chance. If you do need to have anything moved again, please do as Renske asked and use the proper folder: Book & Author Page Issues

Please change the title of your request by adding “Done”, and then move it to the Archive folder.
