Hello!

I am in the process of changing my previous author name Sarah Asermily to my maiden name Sarah Snyder. My published books have all been changed to reflect my maiden name on Amazon: Until the Sun Forgets to Rise, Told You So, and Dottie & the Art of Dying all authored by Sarah Snyder. It looks like those are now under a different Sarah Snyder on Goodreads and I'd like to change my name on this author account please and then claim those three books as mine. Thank you!

Until the Sun Forgets to Rise
Dottie & the Art of Dying
Told You So

We can update the covers of Audible/Kindle editions but any works that were originally published in physical form under a particular name must retain that name as a primary author on all editions. You can send a request to Goodreads Support to move your claimed profile to "Sarah Snyder" but your books will still have "Sarah Asermily" as a primary author where applicable. You can also claim a "Sarah Snyder" profile using a separate account and maintain both pages (only the primary author on a Goodreads book record can edit metadata etc).

Here's a new Sarah Snyder page for you:

I have moved and combined books, and updated the covers of relevant editions and added "Sarah^^Snyder" as a secondary author.

For this "Told You So" Kindle edition it says Goodreads set the cover image so I cannot replace it. You can contact Goodreads Support and ask them to fix it.

The Audible editions that I see on Goodreads do not come up on Amazon and the audiobook editions on Amazon still have "Asermily" on the cover anyway.
