Karen Richardson I am a Goodreads librarian and my husband is in the author program. His new book, BLOOD MONEY, came out today. I am trying to add a cover image, but can't figure out how to do it. I am also trying to have the book listed under his profile with his other books (THE SAFETY EXPERT, TRUE BELIEVERS, DARK HORSE), but can't figure out how to do that either. If anyone has time to help me I would really appreciate it. Thank you!!

Hi, when you add/edit the book look on the right side of the screen, just across the title field and you will see the option for uploading the cover.

If you can't manage, just add the book, then upload the cover to your profile and provides with link to the book and someone will do it for you.

The book will be listed in his profile when you add it as long as the name is spelled identically to the way it is spelled in his profile.

Good luck and if you have any more questions just ask.

There is no indication you ever have been, or have even applied. All users with accounts older than a couple days can manually add books.


Your husband is Doug-2space-Richardson, so when manually adding books by him, you need to include two spaces between his first and last name. You also need to list the ISBN in the ISBN13 slot, not the ISBN10 slot.
