Hi all,
I have an author friend who cannot edit his goodreads' page. I was able to edit his books by "Jeff Williams" and he wants to change his name in goodreads from Jeffrey Williams to Jeff Williams. Since I changed the books to Jeff Williams, the books do not show up on his profile.

Here is his page: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

GR policy is that the primary author name be the same as the name on the book as originally published. This author will need to contact staff to change his author profile name. He can then have his new name listed as secondary on his books.
