Cannot Edit My Author Page

[Sheila]

I recently rejoined Goodreads. I received my "Welcome to the Authors Program" email. My old (ancient!) author profile popped right up, and I cannot edit it. Incidentally, I have tried several times to update my personal profile - it shows my middle name in the editing mode but not on the profile page, and I need it to show to coordinate with my author page. Every time I try to edit my author profile, I get an error message saying I must be a librarian to make changes. The only one of my 20 books listed is an out-of-print book from 1993, and my bio is, clearly, out of date. So, what am I doing wrong? Thanks.

Hi Sheila.

This is the author profile you have claimed: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Is this also you? https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... And if so, are all those books yours?

Hi,
I think the first one must have been set up when I rejoined and reapplied to the author program. I had not seen it before now. The second one is my old profile, and yes, all those books are mine. That's the profile I've been trying to edit, with no luck. So I'm guessing you've found the problem!
Thanks - what now?

Now I wave my virtual wand, and combine both profiles. You should now be able to edit that bio.

My hero! Thank you so much.

Yes, Mandy, mine is working now. Maybe you need to start a new thread to request help. Good luck!

If you have two author pages where one is claimed then you can post in this group, you need to post links to both profiles
