Change name in author profile

[Lakelia]

Hello, I would like to change the name on my author profile from Lakelia "BlackByrd" DeLoach to just BlackByrd. I have already changed this on Amazon and all my Amazon books. Also how do I go about changing the names on my books as well?

You can either edit your author profile's name yourself or contact staff - librarians can't edit claimed author profiles.

Note that Goodreads policy is that the author listed for any and all editions should be the author name the book was originally published under https://www.goodreads.com/help/librar... So books published under "Lakelia BlackByrd DeLoach" should have that name as primary author, "BlackByrd" can be added as secondary.

Also, if it happens that there are other people publishing under "BlackByrd " their books will also be attributed to that profile - there isn't way of disambiguating single name author profiles.

How do I add a secondary name?

You add a second author. I'm pretty sure you can do this yourself, but if not, ask here.
