I'm an author in the process of re-publishing all my books previously published under my former pen name (Nina del Arce) under my legal name (Vilhelmina Ullemar). The change has already been processed on one of my titles over at Amazon, and will go through on the other one shortly.
I understand that I need to keep my former pen name as the main author on Goodreads, and add my new author name as a contributor. However, I would also like to keep using this account (that is linked to the Nina del Arce author profile), but rename it to my legal name. Can I do that without completely messing up the back-end? And if I can, is it best to do it first before I add the new covers / editions of the books, or after?
If it's obvious I need to send this in as a support request, please let me know. I really have no idea what the best way to go about this is, but am thankful for any help!
