Peter (illustrationist) | 3 comments I have a similar problem. I both write and illustrate; and I co-write with another author. In three cases books I've help create are on Goodreads, but do not credit me, so I can't link them to my dashboard.

One of the books I co-wrote/co-illustrated does not credit me as second author on Goodreads. (http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53...)

Two of the books that I illustrated also do not have a listing for me on Goodreads (http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/19... and http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10...)

If someone could kindly let me know what I need to do, I'd be grateful.

There's a further book that I created, but somehow it did not connect to my dashboard, but another Peter Cook (I probably miscounted the spaces). That would be this one: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18...

Many thanks!

Susie (dragonsusie) | 17 comments Sometimes books either get imported or added by readers, so they don't always add illustrators or don't know about the way we disambiguate authors of the same name.

Anyway, all updated for you, but in future you should post such requests in the Librarians Group.

Peter (illustrationist) | 3 comments Thanks, Susie. I didn't think authors had access to commenting on the Librarians group. Pardon my error. And thanks again.

The Librarians Group is literally there for people to request amendments to books, trivia, series, etc., whether they be authors or readers. I don't believe we have a private group where we can chat amongst ourselves, unfortunately.

Racheline Maltese | 2 comments I'm a contributor to many anthologies. Some show up on my profile, but several don't but are in the Goodreads system. Is there any way to add them to my profile?

rivka Absolutely. The fastest way is usually to start a new thread in the Librarians Group. If you link each book that you should be listed as an author on, one of our volunteer librarians will take care of that for you.

Magical, thank you. I could not have figured that out on my own!
