Alethea Kinsela Hello,

I am at a loss how to create a new edition/entry OR edit existing book entry that includes a second author. I have created a new edition in Amazon, have a new ASIN and ISBN specifically for this version, however when I tried to create a new entry, it only saved the original author (A.A. Kinsela) - which is a pseudonym - and I want the new edition to list my author name (Alethea Kinsela) as well so that the book appears under my author profile as well as (or instead of) my pseudonym page.

Here's an example of what I'm trying to accomplish: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
- where this author has her author and pen name both listed as authors.

Could someone please help with this? I've read multiple discussions on this and followed the instructions, but I can't seem to add another author to any of the existing or any new editions created.

This is the new edition I created specifically for the purpose of having the 2 author names listed under the title, but it didn't save the information when the listing was created, despite me having entered it! There are 2 new editions that I created, neither of which saved the second author in the book details!

If the different version need to be merged, I'm happy for that to happen - I just want my author name listed as well as pseudonym.

Thanks :)

Eline This request does not involve the adding of new books/new editions to the Goodreads database, so it is in the wrong folder.
Please move your topic to the correct folder Book & Author Page Issues by clicking the edit button next to the topic's title and picking the target folder from the pulldown list (only available for desktop/laptop, not in the app).
