combine editions pen name/ real name

[Jenna]

Hello! I have librarian status, but I'm not sure how to combine editions which were previously published under a pen name but are now being re-released under the author's real name?

Here is the original listing under pen name: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

and new one under author's real name: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

The author is republishing 2 full series under her real name, so there's several books that need to be combined into their old editions. Thanks!

Hi, the primary author name need to be the same name for all editions in order to combine them.

There are rules in which order the author names must be listed, in short:

Old books: old name as primary
New books: old name primary, new name secondary

The rule can be found here, in the second paragraph of the "Author pseudonyms/pen names" section:
