Catie Hartsfield | 4 comments I am a new author to this site. I believe my book is finally here, but it is without a cover. How do I add the cover. The name of the book is: The Year of the Cicadas, it is on Amazon, Nook, IBook, and my website, www.theyearofthecicadas.com. What do I need to know to fix this? Any advice would be great.

message 256: by Aya (new)

Aya Ling | 3 comments Please add my cover http://www.ayaling.com/books.html (the one titled "Princesses Don't Get Fat") to my new book: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17...

Also, as I made some stupid mistakes when trying to manually add the book, can I also ask for:
1. Combine the two editions
2. Change the author name "LIng" to "Ling"

Thanks so much! :)

Sandra | 31511 comments Name fixed, cover added and combined. Also added next book (put the date as 2014 so everyone knows it isn't available yet).

What date & publisher did you want for PDGF?

Also both of them are listed as ebook, so is one meant to be kindle?


message 258: by Aya (new)

Aya Ling | 3 comments Wow, thanks Sandra for the quick response! Thanks also for adding the next book (it may be out earlier than 2014, but I'll let you know then).

I just uploaded PDGF on Amazon (it's already on Kobo and Smashwords), so I think it's safe to list the date as January 2013, and the publisher as me (Aya Ling). I haven't planned on doing a paperback for PDGF yet, so only one edition is needed for kindle.


message 259: by Sandra (new)

Sandra | 31511 comments It will be one edition for ebook (kobo & smashwords) & one for kindle (amazon)

I thought the 2nd one would be earlier than 2014, but without a firm date at the moment, 2014 is the obvious choice until you know when it will be released.

I'll also set up the series for you. What would you like to call it?

J.F. Lourens (jflourens) | 3 comments Good morning. My novel Ancient Revenge was added to Goodreads early 2012, but I have since updated the cover through a new edition. Could you please update the cover image with this one?

Link to image on my Blog (consistent with the Amazon image): http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3FhD4OIPXrE...


Thanks and regards


message 262: by Aya (new)

Aya Ling | 3 comments Hi Sandra, I haven't come up with a name for the series, but I will post when I have. Also, I've already sent a message to claim author status, and am waiting for confirmation. Thanks for your help!

message 272: by Jamie (new)

Jamie (jamiepants) | 0 comments Yes, it's for the paperback version. It's different than the blue one that's up there now.

Change reverted. Valid covers should not be deleted, and librarians who do so risk loss of librarian privileges. See http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...

James - Here is the alternate cover edition. I am expecting other details like ISBN, Publisher information are same as its other Paperback edition. If not, please provide us the correct details and we will update it.

Here's the Goodreads page for Paris Brats:

Here's the external link to the new cover:

I appreciate all the time and care you put into maintaining Goodreads.

Kind regards,

Sandra | 31511 comments Gwen we can't change the existing cover but we can set up an alternative cover edition. Doing that now :)

Your book is here http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17...

Gwen (gwenellery) | 8 comments Thanks, Sandra! Much appreciated.

Debbie's Spurts (D.A.) | 6325 comments Now that you have an alternate cover edition, as the author, you can choose which edition/cover is featured (on your author page, searches, etc., what goodreads calls the "primary edition" or "default edition."). For directions, See Author FAQ #4 this group at http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1... or help screens at http://www.goodreads.com/help/show/31... .

message 287: by Jamie (new)

Jamie (jamiepants) | 0 comments One more thing. Is it possible to make the new cover the default (or main) cover for the book? When I go to "my books" it still shows the old blue cover. Any ideas? Thank you! Jamie

Here's old cover:

Can you replace with new cover?

Thanks,

message 292: by ❂ Murder by Death (last edited Jan 08, 2013 01:53PM) (new)

❂ Murder by Death  (murderbydeath) I got all the additional information added for the books in #310 EXCEPT I did not add the alternative cover edition.

Rose - you linked to the amazon page and we can't use any information or images from Amazon or other commercial booksellers. I've looked on the publisher site but it's under construction. If you have access to the image from a non-commercial site and can post it to your profile, please do so and one of us will be happy to create an alternate cover edition for you.

ETA: Never mind I found the image via author site/publisher site. Adding alt edition now. And Done.

Mike,

The link you posted to the new cover art is not working. I am working on making a new edition for your book, as you say it has a new publisher and cover.

Can you send a link to it on the publisher's site? Or maybe you can write up the publisher/pub date for me so I can add it?

Edit:

Mike, it looks like you changed all the edition data for your book so that it would reflect the new edition coming out. I am undoing those changes and making a new edition for this Sapphire Star Publishing edition.

Any book in the system that has been published needs to stay in the system. We make new editions and then group those together.

I know that you aren't allowed to use the amazon data but the publisher's website was being renewed (I think) and wasn't avaible at the time I posted. Sorry for the extra work and thanks again! :)

Edit: Sorry, don't mean to be annoying but can you combine the edition with all the Jasper Jones editions?

Don't worry, it's OK. You've added a lot of stuff for me so thanks for that. :)

And thanks Renske for combining the editions!

Monique,

Here's publisher's site: http://www.sapphirestarpublishing.com...

All publishing data has already been updated. Only thing left is the cover.

New cover is also on my Goodreads profile page. If neither of these work, if you give me an upload link I can try that.

Thanks so much,

Mike

Mike, as was mentioned to you already once in this thread, it is NOT ok to edit an existing edition to a new edition. Rather, we add a new edition from scratch and combine with the older edition.

Edit: New edition, complete with cover: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17...
