Keith Bond (keithbond) | 4 comments Hello,

Whisper Beneath the Roots is my first published book. I went to create an author's profile and noticed that it is listed under another Keith Bond who is not me. So I am not able to claim the book and start the application. Can this be corrected please. Thank you.

William Dickerson | 4 comments Hi,

I recently published my latest book "The Tao of Twin Peaks," but when I tried to claim it, it had been linked to another author (also named William Dickerson). I have two editions, hardcopy and paperback:

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

Can this please be corrected so they're attributed to me and I have access to them?

Thanks!

William Dickerson | 4 comments Also, can you please consolidate so both editions are listed under the same page, with the paperback image/info being the primary book it defaults to? Thank you for your help.

Thank you. I now have my Author Page. Currently only my ebook is listed under my author page even though I put the information for both the ebook and paperback. Can I get the paperback added to me. Thank you.

editions combined; setting the default edition is something only authors can do. In the future please start a new thread.

William Dickerson | 4 comments Also, just to follow-up, how long does it take for these changes to be reflected? When I open my author dashboard, this book is not included with my books yet and when I click on the "William Dickerson" on the book's page, it still goes to the other author. Thanks for your help and the info.
