Melissa Butler (melissaabutler) | 2 comments I am Melissa A. Butler and it seems that my author info only shows up with Melissa Butler. I have two older books where my name is listed without the middle initial. This is fine bc the books are in print that way, but I'd like them to show up in my author dashboard with my full name, middle initial included. My new book How to Notice has the full name listed on the book, but right now if you click on the name, the full name takes you to a blank author page and only the name without the initial takes you to my author page.

This is my correct author page that lists all three of my books: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

BUT... I'm trying to edit my name on this page so it has my middle initial too.

This is the link to the empty author page: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

I would like this link (to the current empty author page) to be the link that takes people to my author page where all three books and info are listed.

{fyi, this link to Melissa A Butler is not me and these are not my books: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...]

thank you so much for your help and patience and time. I appreciate it!

Scott | 9228 comments You will have to ask support to merge you with the first Melissa A. Butler. Librarians cannot work with claimed profiles.

Alexandra (swedechick) | 105 comments There's a limit to what Librarians can do. We can edit the listed author so that books move from one person to another, but I think this might be one of those cases where it's better if you contact Support on https://www.goodreads.com/about/conta..., because part of what you're asking is not something Librarians have the power to do.

However, I - and the others - would happily help you edit any existing books and do whatever else we are able to, to help you. :)

Edit: Again, Scott types faster and is much clearer than me. Thanks! :D
