User level: Level 1 (4 points)Hi.
I recently published a book and it has been distributed by ingramspark. I have a pretty common name, so as an author, Apple have linked my book to another author by the same name. How do I fix this? I can seem to a: find a way to create my author page with Apple and claim my book, as I did with amazon and b:How do I unlink from the other Author with the same name. Any help gratefully received.

Do let us know. If Ingramspark put your book in Apple's store, they might be the ones to need to ask for fixes.

Yes. It was via Ingram. I've had this with other sites such as goodreads and Amazon and those sites were able to fix the issue.
