nCarinae | 9 comments Hi! so this is my book (I'm the author and illustrator): https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
It has my name but I need to use a pen name from now on. I will be very grateful if you change for this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Zj8v...
Thank you!!

If the book was published originally using the name shown on cover that should be the author profile under which it is filed.
Later editions using a different author name should be filed the same way but with new name as secondary author.

Yes, I have changed my name on author profile! I understand the later editions, it's just I wish this cover would not appear anymore in the internet since it has my last names.

I don't mind if the book should be deleted, if it can't be changed, since the book can't be found anywhere anymore.

I just don't want my real name on the internet anymore please.

Martin | 35486 comments The book details should not have been changed in that way. Goodreads retains out of print titles and names to allow users to rate and shelve the editions they read.
I see the name has now been restored.
You can now add the new edition with cover and include the new author name as secondary author.
