Steven Shelley | 23 comments Hello Librarians,

I have recently consolidated my pen names into my own name (Steven J. Shelley).

The books that are now under this author name include the following ASINs:

B01895UW0K
B0190IYZBC
B0129QVD4E

These changes, which includes book covers and ebook files, can be confirmed on Amazon.com.

How do I go about making these changes in Goodreads?

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Steve Shelley

Arenda | 26455 comments Books published under more than one name should have the name they were originally published under listed as primary for all editions. See https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/4...

Goodreads policy is to keep all published covers on the site, as users want to shelve the cover of the copy they have.
Instead, we add an alternate-cover edition.
See http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...
and http://www.goodreads.com/help/show/85....

Alternate-cover editions added here:

GR authors usually can change which edition of the book is the default, which will come up in searches by title and show on your author profile. But since your GR author profile is not in the primary author position, you'll have to ask Goodreads support if you want to make the new editions the default.
