W | 3 comments Hi all,

Newly published for the first time so apologies if I'm asking this the wrong way, but there's another book showing up on my profile that isn't mine. Can you please remove this book? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

Thanks!

Shim (slimmy) | 3430 comments We don't know what your author name is. Your user profile is just "W".

Either way, you can claim your author page using the link at the bottom where it says "Is this you? Let us know." You can find more information about the Goodreads Author program here. In the form for claiming your page you can indicate which books are yours.

Oops, that was a dumb omission! Thanks for responding.

Here's my author page as it stands now: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

I'll look into the Goodreads Author Program, but is there any way to decouple the two texts that show up under my name in the meantime? I guess there's someone else with my name who also contributed to a book at one point. I'm one of the the translators of this book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

but I have nothing to do with this book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

Thanks again for your help!
