C.R. Hedgcock (crhedgcock) | 10 comments Good evening,

My Goodreads Author Page has 4 of my books correctly listed; the 5th, however, is not because it's under the name C. R. Hedgcock (with a space between initials). My current author page has the initials without the space between them (C.R.).

Could someone kindly help to get the 5th book in this series onto the correct page?
Is it possible to change my author name to include the space between initials, without losing any information on my current page?

Here is my current author page ("unspaced" initials): https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Thank you very much!

Thank you so much! That is really fantastic.
Can I change my author name to include the spaces between initials, or will that create problems?

C.R. Hedgcock (crhedgcock) | 10 comments Can I add a new book to the series, or must a librarian do that?

If the latter, could someone do that for me if I provided the cover image and synopsis?

Many thanks.

Abcdarian | 26579 comments A librarian is needed to add to a series, and the book needs to be on Goodreads.

Goodreads requires that we don't use spaces between initials in an author name.

Thank you for that information, Abcdarian!

Could someone kindly add this new book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
to the series: https://www.goodreads.com/series/1928...

Many thanks.

Abcdarian | 26579 comments Book added. It will take some time to show properly on your author profile due to caching, but it is on the series: https://www.goodreads.com/series/1928...

C.R. Hedgcock (crhedgcock) | 10 comments I apologize for posting again -- could a librarian please delete this cover image? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

The published version will have a slightly altered one.

Abcdarian | 26579 comments Has the book been circulated in any way (advance reader copies for example) with the current cover?
