Elaine (elainereads) | 57 comments Lili St. Crow and Lilith Saintcrow are the same person. According to the author website Lilith Saintcrow is her real name and Lili St. Crow is the name she writes YA under.

She currently has two YA books: Strange Angels and Betrayals. Each of these books is listed under Goodreads a Lilith Saintcrow which does not match the cover. There are additional copies listed under Lili St. Crow: Strange Angels and Betrayals.

I read the librarian notes and I cannot figure out why the author name was changed.

The same situation exists for her upcoming Jealousy.

Based on the librarian manual, I think the name should be Lili St. Crow showing that it is a pseudonym and then list Lilith Saintcrow second.

I will be glad to fix these if everyone agrees.

Looks like they were changed because she wants them all to appear on her author profile.

Elaine (elainereads) | 57 comments So, if the first author is listed as Lili St. Crow and the second is Lilith Saintcrow, it will not show up on her author page?

I can list Lili St. Crow as the second author and list her role as pseudonym, but that is not what the manual says to do.

1) We make exceptions to some policies for Goodreads authors.

2) I think we're actually in the process of rewriting that bit.

Elaine (elainereads) | 57 comments Not a problem. I'll go in and list Lili St. Crow as the second author with pseudonym as the role.
