Y.M. Nelson (ymnelson) | 12 comments When i first created my account, I couldn't do a space between my initials. Has that changed? If so, May I get my author name changed to Y. M. Nelson (with a space between my initials?)

Y.M. Nelson

Tami (tamicarvallo) | 6987 comments Hi, this has not changed. As stated in the librarian manual (current policy) https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/...

"If an author uses initials in their name, the initials should contain NO spacing between them and be marked with a period. No spaces within the letters of a name.

Correct example:
J.D. Robb

Incorrect examples:
JD Robb
J D Robb
J. D. Robb
J D R o b b"
