Request to Update Author Name & Edition for Insane Entities

[[deleted user]]

Hello,

I was recently accepted into the Goodreads Author Program, but I’m unable to edit my author details myself. I’d appreciate assistance from a librarian with the following updates:

1. Update my author name across my author profile from Michael S. AI to Michael S.

2. Set the default edition of my book Insane Entities to match the official edition on Amazon. Here is the correct edition: [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F1LWV81K]

Thank you in advance for your help! I really appreciate it.

Best,
Michael S.

1. Your books all have "Michael S. A.I." listed as the author on the cover (except "Shock", which has "Michael Samir", and TurtleNeck which doesn't have any name on the cover), so that is the author name used on your page. Is the "AI" not intended as part of the name, but rather an indication that you wrote these works with the help of artificial intelligence? Either way, Librarians cannot modify your author page name, you'd have to contact Goodreads support.

2. Only authors can set default editions (https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/...).

If it appeared on any books, we keep it on file.

Ah I see.
