My book Poetry of an Addict: Complete Edition

is showing Brett Persson instead of Brett C. Persson. Not a huge problem other than it is showing us as two different authors. All of my other books are listed correctly as Brett C. Persson. If you could please move this title so it is with all of my other titles I would appreciate it.

Thank you,
Brett C Persson

Hello. I hope I am in the right place for this question.

Okay, so, a long time ago, I translated a novel -- Skinner's Box. The author is Mi Lei. I am properly listed as the translator on Goodreads.

However, whenever anyone follows me on Goodreads, it shows as:
"___ is now following
Gaines Post
Author of Skinner's Box".

Well, first of all, if I am to be shown like that as the author of anything, I would much rather it be as author of something actually authored by me, such as That One Pretty Thing. And second of all, it's not fair to Mi Lei to show me as the author, because he is the one who actually wrote Skinner's Box; I merely translated it into English.

Can someone help me with this? And/or send me in the right direction? Thank you so much in advance :-)

The author field on Goodreads is also for illustrators, translators, editors, etc.
The most popular/most shelved book will appear first on your page.
So, it will say "author of Skinner's Box" because that has more shelvings.
There is nothing anyone can do to change how that appears.

I recommend going to Goodreads Help and submitting an idea to change the wording. https://help.goodreads.com/s/Ideas

Ack. I see. Lame. Authors should be able to choose which work represents them best. Okay, thank you for your help.
