John Wilson | 1 comments My name is John H. Wilson, and I recently published Jack’s Story: 7th Armored Division Tank Commander, World War II, which I co-authored with my wife, Janice. It’s based on my father’s letters and experiences as a tank commander in WWII.
I’ve run into a little challenge on Goodreads: because “John Wilson” is such a common name, my book has been linked to another author (a John Wilson in Canada). I’ve reached out to Goodreads support several times, but so far I haven’t received a response.
I’m hoping to:
Separate my author identity clearly from the Canadian John Wilson.
I have tried and not been able to create my Author Page and then connect my book.

Learn from others here who may have dealt with similar profile mix-ups or support delays.
I’d be grateful for any advice, and I look forward to getting to know you all. Thank you for creating such a supportive community for authors!
Warm regards,
John H. Wilson (J Wilson Books)

Shim (slimmy) | 3514 comments Since you have editions with the "H" initial now, I have moved all of the editions your books to a page under that name:

https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

You can claim the 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.

If you run into trouble claiming your page, please contact Goodreads Support as Goodreads Librarians cannot help you with the Author program at all.

This request is complete.

Please edit the title / subject of your post and add [done] so other Librarians know it is complete.
