Author Real Name and Pseudonym

[Mirella]

Hi!
I'm Mirella Muffarotto and Llarjme is my pen name. I used a pseudonym at first, and I still use it on social networks, but I'm identified by my legal name on my book cover, on every copyright page, and in the Copyright Office’s records, so I'd like to be known under my real name now.
Mirella Muffarotto already exists on Goodreads, linked to my book, but it's me. It's a duplicate of my official Goodreads author page.

Could you please change my author name (Llarjme) into Mirella Muffarotto (my real name) and delete the unofficial Mirella Muffarotto?

I can't thank you enough!
Mirella

As librarians cannot do anything with claimed GoodReads Author pages I suggest you contact support.

Thanks, Sandra :)

Shouldn't the primary author be Llarjme, since that was the name the book was first published under?

From Goodreads Support: "I have changed your author page to be linked to your Mirella Muffarotto page. Each user profile can only be attached to one author profile at a time. You should now be able to update the profile."

"Mirella Muffarotto" is the only author profile I can manage, so please don't set Llarjme (pen name) as the primary author... I couldn't update it.
I'm identified by my legal name on my book cover, on every copyright page, in the Copyright Office’s records, and my readers recognize me, so I'd really like to introduce myself and my books with my real name. Only the Italian ed. "Via Castelli 4" was first published under my pen name.
Thanks a million!

But it does say "Mirella Muffarotto writing as Llarjme" on several covers.

I'd like to hear from rivka on this.

BTW, it is possible to maintain two Goodreads author profiles, you just need a different email address and a different login for the second one.

Ok, thanks! Please let me know :)

Rivka agrees with Sandra's suggestion.

What is Sandra's suggestion? The author name has already been changed by staff.

I'd just like to know whether I'm right that Llarjme should be the primary author on all editions.
