I changed to a pen name. I understand the first edition stays, but the book is still listed another author's name. I doubt she wants my book on her page anymore than I do. What do I need to do to get the first and second edition of book 1 on the same authors page (Ella Norris ) with book 2??

And should I delete this account and make second one under new name. Or have a readers account and a writers account????
Could you give links to the book/s and author/s you are talking about please? That would make it easier to help.
If you mean not all books on the Angela Marie profile are yours, please say which ones and we can move them. (Is the profile pic yours?)https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
My name is Angela Marie. After putting my books on GoodReads, I realized that there are many people-many writers- with that name, including the profile you just linked above. I changed to the pen name Ella Norris. However, my book, Fates' Folly, is on this persons profile. It is not her book. It is mine. And it is not on my profile, because for some reason, my profile doesn't exist. Even though the following books of my series are on GoodReads under Ella Norris, I don't have a profile despite my efforts to create one. I'm asking what do I do to establish a profile under my pen name of Ella Norris, how do I put all of my books on my profile, and how do I remove one of my books from Angela Marie's profile? https://www.goodreads.com/search?utf8...
If I click on the blue "Ella Norris" it takes me to a profile page I can't seem to gain access. What do I do?I'm perfectly fine with the rule first edition must remain, I just think it would be less confusing if all editions were on the same page and I could put my picture on it.
I have moved that edition of Fates' Folly to a new Angela Marie profile, and added Ella Norris as a secondary author: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...Your Ella Norris profile is here: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
You can claim that profile by clicking on the Is this you? Let us know link halfway down the page.
Have you claimed the Ella Norris profile? Go to that page then scroll down to bottom. There is a link that says "Is this you?" or something like that. Click it and follow instructions. That starts the application process for you to claim that profile. It may take a couple days for Goodreads to respond.
I claimed the Ella Norris profile- can I get the Angela Marie profile deleted and move the first edition of Fates' Folly to the Ella Norris page?
No, I think it was already explained that a book must have the author name it was first published under on all editions.I have already added Ella Norris to the first book, and it appears on that page: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
