Combine new edition with new name?

[A.D.]

Hi,

I recently rebranded my novel Twilight Burning as The Dead and the Missing: An Adam Park Thriller

The Amazon ASIN has not changed but I would like to - if possible - have The Dead and the Missing as the default version of this novel. Twilight Burning is not an available title, except with "used" paperbacks in a very small number of areas. A paperback with new ISBN will be available shortly too.

Is this possible at all or do they have to remain separate?

Thanks,


Antony

Goodreads authors can change the default edition of a work:
To use this feature, go to the edition you wish to set as the default, and click the "edit" link. On the edition's edit page there will be a link on the right side, about mid-way down the page and just before the link to refresh stats, to "Set this book as the primary edition for this work".

Renette is correct, that is the way to set default editions.

However, in the course of looking at your request, I noticed that the Amazon database had incorrectly overwritten the older kindle edition with your new title/cover. Removing old editions is against Goodreads policy. Instead, if a book is re-released with a new cover or title but an old ISBN, we create an alternate cover edition instead. I have created an ACE for your kindle edition here:

To set it as default, just follow Renette's instructions in message 2.

Perfect. Thank you.
