Emma Deplores Goodreads Censorship (emmadeploresgoodreadscensorship) | 6 comments Can someone merge Alis A. Rasmussen and Kate Elliott? These are pen names of the same person.

Renske | 12223 comments The Goodreads Staff can also merge Goodreads author profiles, we have a special thread for those requests.

But those two profiles shouldn't be merged, both names are used on the books.

Empress (the_empress) It seems like a pen name. Unless we are all wrong we ain't merging those.

Regarding author pseudonyms or pen names - some authors write or have written under multiple names. When editing or adding information for a book written by an author with multiple names, enter the author's name as on the front cover as the primary author. The author's other names may be added in the other author fields. Original name or other pen names can added and linked via a Librarian Note: in the description field, or using the Librarian Note feature located above the Title field. In some cases, a book may be originally published under a pen name, but then later reissued under the author's original name. When this happens, the author listed for any and all editions should be the author name the book was originally published under - so the reissued edition would need its author name changed to the originally published pen name. Doing this will allow the various editions to be combined.
