Elizabeth Scarlett | 3 comments I am the author of this book; it's just that I used my middle initial when I published it. Afterward, I started to omit my middle initial.

Michael Korleone (michaelkorleone) | 3881 comments I'm not completely sure about removing the middle initial when the author name on the book cover includes it. Instead, I added your claimed author profile as secondary author so that the book is displayed on your author page. Will leave the decision regarding the middle initial to GR staff.

Elizabeth Scarlett | 3 comments Thank you. Maybe my identities can be merged.


message 5: by Annika (new)

Annika | 568 comments As you have a claimed author page any merging must be done by staff, you can make the request here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

This is correct; the more complete name under which it was published must be listed as primary author.

It's ok to merge a less complete version of an author name into the more complete one (as long as the longer version entirely includes the shorter one), but not the reverse.

Katie | 2 comments Hi, I am the author of the following two books but they aren't showing under my name because there is no full stop after the L. Please can you change this for me? Thanks.

They should be Katie L. Thompson not Katie L Thompson.
