DESPERATE: author name(s) in Calibre

ShaunL · 12-27-2017, 02:43 PM

Hi all,

Sorry if this is a newbie question. I have a perfectly formatted book in epub... I have my metadata with TWO authors......... but only ONE author is showing up on my left hand page.

Diane Cummings &J ohn. I. Rigoli show only as John I. Rigoli on the top margin of my pages. I have never had this problem before, because I have only had one author to convert to kindle for!!!!!

Please? Any help? I BEG you!!!!

This would probably fare better in the Calibre forums but if you've put in the authors as "Diane Cummings & John. I. Rigoli" Calibre should have no problems (I just tried it and even without the spaces as in your post, it works fine). Have you tried to polish the book?

Moved out of the Writers' Forum and into the calibre Forum, since this is a question concerning....calibre.

Sorry - there is a space between the ampersands. And - in Calibre, I see both authors. The problem is Kindle.... on the page headers (top margin) - where the author names should be, I see only ONE of my authors, not both.

Every other thing on the book is done, and showing properly.
