Pen Name Question

[Andrew]

Hi. I'm a new author writing under a pen name. I never created an author page but my books is on Goodreads with reviews. There is another author with the same real name who has a number of books published and on Goodreads. My book shows with his. How do I create an author page and separate my book from his? Can I use my pen name or have to use my real name? Thanks

[Suzi]

I moved your book to a unique profile, which you can claim by scrolling down to where it says "is this you?"

@David, you could edit out your real name from post #3 now if you wish.

You haven't claimed it yet.
What would you like to do?

Hi. I thought I claimed it already but I guess I didnt. I just claimed it and entered all the information. Does it show that? thx

You have to be approved by staff. It's not automatic.

If you filled it out they will get back to you.
