Jennifer Phillips | 1 comments I'm not sure how to get this fixed and hoping someone can guide me. I just signed up with Goodreads and created a profile, then posted a new book I have out and joined a group that exchanges reviews. There is another author with the same name and my book is now listing with her books and I'm unable to create my own author page. How do I rectify? Thanks!

Carolyn (seeford) | 573 comments I can fix it for you - just give me a link to your author page and let me know which book is yours. = )

Carolyn (seeford) | 573 comments OK, think I found it on my own.
Is this it Jennifer?

The key is that I added a space between your first and last names - won't show up onscreen or affect search results, but is the database differentiator.

You'll want to go in and sign up to have your author profile hooked up to you and then you can edit the profile and your book as well.

Welcome to Goodreads!
