Please Add Me as Author

[B.P.]

I did not make the Goodreads page before making the Amazon page, and it will not let me change the author information. I generally keep the space between my initials, but Goodreads will of course not accept that. I wrote this title, The Crimson Lice.

Also, I've applied for Librarian status a ton of times, and it's like my status was revoked or something.

According to Amazon (look inside) you are listed as editor and publisher.

See: https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/2... (at the bottom of the page):
*Please note that editors should only be added for records like anthologies and reference materials. Novels and other works of fiction should not have editors listed.

Librarians can't say anything about that, but our experience is that authors usually are not granted librarian status.

I wrote it, and I'm pretending that the protagonist, a fictional Victorian author, did. When I bundle all the short stories together, I'm saying that I'm the editor of the anthology.
Should I just scrub my name from the text?

I think it's OK to list you as secondary author then, which is what we do for pen names. I've added you to the record. But because you are listed as secondary, you won't have editing privileges for the book unless you also claim the Eleanor Wren profile using a different email address than the one you used to claim B.P. Morrison.

And FYI, Goodreads policy is to omit spaces between initials. There are multiple compelling reasons for this policy, none of which you would probably care about, since it's all arcane GR librarian stuff. :P But please make sure you don't add a space between yours, even if that's how you usually list your name elsewhere, or your book will disappear from your profile.

Thank you! I'll see what I can do about that other account.
I do know about the policy with the initials, and that's why I brought it up. I normally add the page manually, but I suppose I just forgot this time. Amazon usually lists it with the space, which I will correct in the future.
