 * Looked up the plugin repository and found this plugin which allows you to change
   the author slug:
   [https://wordpress.org/plugins/edit-author-slug/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/edit-author-slug/)
   Tested it and it works as expected. Simply, install and activate the plugin, 
   navigate to your user profile screen, and change the slug under the “Edit Author
   Slug” at the bottom
