How do I handle my other books under a different name?

[Andy]

I have 8 fiction books published under the name 'Andy Zach'.

I have 1 non-fiction book published under 'Jeffry Smith'.

How should I handle this on Goodreads? Should I set up another author account under 'Jeffry Smith'? Or can I combine it under Andy Zach?

Thanks,

Andy Zach

aka

Jeffry Smith

Per Goodreads policy, we enter the author's name as it appears on the cover. But we can add another name as a second and the book will be visible in your profile.

If you link to this book in the database, we'll add the second name.
If this book isn't in the database, you can request it be added in "Adding books" folder.

And you can claim the Jeffry Smith profile, of course. Some authors prefer separate profiles for different genres.

Decisions, decisions. Let me think. Certainly one profile is simpler, but two profiles won't confuse my readers.

Okay. I created the Jeffry J Smith profile. How do I make it an author account? I did this with Andy Zach, but I can't remember how.

Then I need to link the Gospel Medley to it.

Hi, I just wanted to remind you that according to Goodreads policies, your name should be formatted as Jeffry J. Smith with a period after the initial. You can find more information about this in the Goodreads Librarian Manual: https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/... Thank you!

Thank you Tami. I'll fix it.
