Matthew Gilbert (matt_gilbert) | 21 comments Could someone please merge these books?
Primary:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

Duplicate:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

If possible, could I also merge the author profile to mine and change my own profile to the full name? For some reason, it won't let me edit my name, and I suspect it's because it conflicts with the name on the new profile.

This profile is me:

Scout Who (scoutwho) | 553 comments One edition is a Kindle, and the other is a paperback, so they both need to remain on Goodreads. I did combine them, which lets people find both editions easier.

As far as the name issue, what you want to do is claim your author profile. Once you've successfully claimed it, your name will be updated and you'll have a fully customizable Goodreads author page.

Go to the author page below, and look for "Is this you? Let us know." It's near the very bottom of the page, last of the text on white background before it changes to colored background.

Click on the "Let us know" link to start the claiming process.

I tried claiming it, but it then says I can't because I already have a profile. I need to get them merged somehow.

Scout Who (scoutwho) | 553 comments ooh, now I see the problem.
Unfortunately it's beyond what Goodreads librarians are able to do for you.

You'll have a to send a message to support staff to straighten it out.
