Aussiescribbler Aussiescribbler | 21 comments I write under two different pseudonyms to distinguish my erotica writing from my general, mostly non-fiction, writing. Previously I used my erotica pseudonym Aussiescribbler as the credited author listing for all my books, even though my other books had Joe Blow as the author on the covers and inside. This was to make it easier to publish them using a single Smashwords author account, but it was bound to be confusing. Recently the rules have changed at Smashwords and author listings have to match covers. So I have been able to sort it out so that my Joe Blow books are listed under that author at Smashwords and my others are still listed as Aussiescribbler. I realised that I needed to make the same changes here, so I have, but this leaves me with the problem that I have a Goodreads author page as Aussiescribbler, but without my Joe Blow titles being listed there, even though I use that author account and the attached blog to publicise them. Is there any solution to this problem?

1) Make sure the primary name is the one on the cover
2) Add the other name in the secondary position

This will have the books seen one profile.

You can also claim the second profile but I think you need to use a second email address


Aussiescribbler Aussiescribbler | 21 comments Thanks. :o) The secondary position sounds like the way to go.

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments I should add that you will only have author privileges over the Good Reads author profile and books unless you claim the second profile
