I am the author of First Echo and Final Echo, but Final Echo is showing up on the wrong Author page. Please help me resolve this asap so my readers won’t get confused since this is the sequel to my first book.

To sort this out we need to know how you entered your name when making your profile.

Amazon adds book to this site automatically and its based on how the author's name is spelled so when two author profiles using the same name one is generally spelled differently by having a space and/or a . added in somewhere.

Final Echo is in this author profile https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

and is entered as "Rebecca A. Jackson". To move the book to your profile I need to know how your name is spelled exactly so I can edit the name in the book info itself.

I cannot look into your profile via the edit function since that is controlled by you unlike the auto generated profile that is unclaimed where the book currently is.

If you go to your profile and hit edit you can see how your name is entered at the very top under "name". Perhaps it is "Rebecca A Jackson" without the period or "_Rebecca A. Jackson" where the underscore is a space?

I spelled it the exact same way, when I first published First Echo it was also added to the author profile Final Echo is now added to, and then when I saw that I asked goodreads to change it and they did, so I am hoping you can do the same for Final Echo since they’re also (on kdp) in the same series.

Done.

Dan, instead of looking at the author's profile, you can look at one of the books that is already on the profile to see the name formatting.

Thank you!

I hope you read this because this is likely to happen again if you write more books but on your profile/books your name is spelled like this, "Rebecca A.__Jackson".

I have also made a series called "Echo" like it shows on amazon and added the second book to the series!

Note there is an extra space (so two spaces in total) between the A. and Jackson. Just something you should know and mention in future requests.
