Not being able to edit author name

[Priyadarshini]

Respected Ma'am/ Sir, My name is Priyadarshini.
This is my goodreads profile: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

I am unable to edit my author name to Priyadarshini Panchapakesan. Whenever I try to edit it, this profile emerges. https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

The first profile is the one in use and I would like to edit the name to Priyadarshini Panchapakesan. Kindly help me with regard to this issue.

Thanks in advance
Kindly also let me know if this profile can be deleted:

Your current profile is a reader profile. The profile with the book attached is an author profile.

As the author of the book on that profile, you can claim that author profile by clicking on this link to access the application. Complete the information — including selecting your book from the list provided — and then submit the application. It's very important that you select your book on this application to avoid delays in getting approval.

After the staff has completed their review, they will upgrade your current reader profile to an author account and send you an email confirmation. This might take a few business days, depending on staff workload, so please be patient.

See The Goodreads Author Program for more information.

Respected Ma'am, when I click the link. This is what it says:

"Sorry, you are already in the author program as Priyadarshini and only one author profile may be claimed at a time. For more information click here".

I would like to delete this profile:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

I have not authored the book " Infernal Ink Magazine (vol. 5 issue 3 for July 2016): Devilishly Erotic Horror".



Just to clarify: I would like to delete this profile: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

And keep this one: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...


Thank you for your help

We cannot delete the profile with the full name, as at least one of those books has that full name on it.

If you would like to convert the profile you have into the full name, you will have to ask support to merge you into it.
