Hello, all your links are broken and lead to Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J.K. Rowling.
I assume you are talking about this book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
I moved it to the correct profile (there should be no spacing between the initials) and combined the ebook with the kindle edition. I only see you created the ebook edition, the kindle was imported by the Amazon bot, I cannot find the two new editions you say you created only one, the ebook, please give a link to the other edition you created.
You want all the books listed on A.A. Kinsela listed on Alethea Kinsela too correct? or just a specific book?

When the author names are too similar the system will not save the second name, librarians know workarounds so both authors can be listed properly. Please confirm what books need editing with links to the records on Goodreads.

Thanks Tami!
I'd like all books for A. A. Kinsela listed under Alethea Kinsela.
No idea how I managed to link everything to HP... sorry about that!
Here are the links to all books that I'd like listed under Alethea Kinsela:

This one is already listed under Alethea Kinsela and can stay there: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
I didn't realise that Amazon imports kindle editions, so perhaps that's why there's multiple editions..? I'm sorry for being such a hassle!
If any of the above editions of the same book (e.g. 2 ebook editions) can be combined, please do so - not sure if that's possible, or if it's even necessary.
Thanks!
Thea.

Don't worry, everything is set. You can see your books listed as requested here: https://www.goodreads.com/author/list...
The author profile itself may take a little while to refresh, but the updates are already in place.
I combined the ebook and Kindle editions for Dark Sun Rising. On Goodreads, the Kindle edition format is used for ebooks sold exclusively through Amazon, while ebooks available through other retailers use the general ebook format. Kindle editions always have an ASIN and sometimes also an ISBN attached to them; ebooks from other platforms may have an ISBN or no identifier at all.
Just to make sure it is set up correctly, is your ebook available anywhere besides Amazon? If it's Amazon-only, then the Kindle edition should be the one that remains.

Thank you so much! That looks amazing now.
My ebooks are available through other retailers as well as Amazon. There is a KU edition of Lightning Tracks, but not sure if that counts as exclusive for the purposes of a Goodreads listing.
Dark Sun Rising will be available for wider distribution as well as Amazon.
It doesn't bother me whether the entries are separated or combined, as long as there's an ebook version of some description.
Cheers :)

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 my 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 when I hit 'save' it didn't list the second author, despite me having entered both authors. There are 2 new editions that I created, neither of which saved the second author in the book details.

If the different versions need to be merged, I'm happy for that to happen - I just want my author name listed as well as pseudonym on all these editions.
Thanks :)
