Request: Edition Merge + Author Claim Correction > Likes and Comments

Hi, I need assistance with correcting my author identity across several titles so I can claim and manage my catalog.

1. Completed edition merges (working correctly)
These titles have already been merged with their correct previous editions, but I still cannot claim them:

Child Eater
ISBN: 9798349583490

Bully Troubles
ISBN: 9798295572647

2. Edition merge still needed
Updated edition:
Love Sick: Stories from the Edge of Healing — Goodreads ID 247416261

Original edition:
Love Sick: Stories — Goodreads ID 141277228

Goodreads will not allow me to claim the updated edition or merge it with the earlier listing.

3. Author‑identity issue affecting five titles
I currently cannot claim five of my own books because of author‑name inconsistencies:

• One title was originally published under a pen name
• Four titles were published using an initial in the author name
• All titles are now being re‑released under my full legal name and my imprint, Shldbwriting Publishing Company

Even after correcting the author data on my end, Goodreads still blocks me from claiming these titles.

I need the author records aligned so I can correctly claim and manage all affected books.

Thank you.

Please move your request to the correct folder: Book & Author Page Issues. This one is for adding NEW books/editions, not for fixing/updating already existing records. Thank you for understanding.
