Macmillan Metadata | 11 comments An author who previously self-published under one pen name, R. Raeta, plans to have her traditionally published books appear under a different pen name, Rachelle Raeta.

Per the Goodreads Librarian Manual, "the author listed for any and all editions should be the author name the book was originally published under." I have tried several times over the past few days to add Rachelle Raeta as a second author of the traditionally published editions, but the name is not appearing on the edition pages.

Below are the links to the traditionally published editions on Goodreads of the previously self-published books, which ought to have Rachelle Raeta as the second author name. **Please note that the titles of the traditionally published editions will be different from the original, self-published titles.**

Book 1:

Macmillan Audio: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Book2:
Tor Kindle: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

More traditionally published editions under the name Rachelle Raeta will be forthcoming from Tor/Bramble and Macmillan Audio.

Hi Scott,

I wish it was that simple! The author does not simply want to change her name--she wants two pen names, which will apply to different editions of the book. Can you help with that?

Best,

Sarah

Scott | 8538 comments Redundant, but doable. I have added the full name to the new editions.
