Miranda Kate (purplequeennl) | 91 comments The primary author on this book needs to be altered to reflect that on Amazon, where the data comes from. I am the primary author as I published it. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Agents-Secre...

This is book 1 of 3 book, the other two are on Goodreads and have the names listed correctly, with Miranda Kate (me) as the primary author, as I am listed on Amazon.

If book 1 is not altered it means they won't sit together on the Author Page.

Plus Michael Wombat is deceased, which is why his name is listed first on the cover of the books, as an honorific. Please can you correct the primary author for the Goodreads listing.

Thanks you
Miranda Kate

Shim (slimmy) | 4301 comments Goodreads' policy is to list authors according to the order on the cover

Miranda Kate (purplequeennl) | 91 comments As per your policy, all the covers have now been changed with the correct line up of authors, with Miranda Kate as the first named author. Please can you change the entries to reflect them please.

And as books 2 & 3 are not published yet, can the covers be replaced?

I am not sure how to change book 1 - should I just add another edition?

Kind regards
Miranda Kate

Sandra | 31778 comments The cover that was first published is the cover Shim was referring to.

The first book published will always remain the primary author for that book (Michael Wombat), the new author name will be secondary, so will show up on the new author profile.

Books 2 & 3 will have the new author name, if they haven't been published yet. Checking amazon, some of the covers of books 2 & 3 still show Michael Wombat as the primary author. And some Miranda Kate.

I suggest you pull the covers of books 2 & 3 that show Michael Wombat as primary. It is the covers that matter, not just amazon saying you are primary author.
