Hi, I have author status and used to always be able to upload/change my covers and book data, but now it won't let me. Did this change? If so, can someone please tell me what I need to do to delete a cover photo and upload a new one? Thanks.

Only thing is it's not yet published, and it still says "...if you're on this page you have been granted a special "librarian" or author status, and can edit book data." at the top when I try to edit. So you're saying I cannot change the cover at all?
Rachael,Once a cover has been published that edition of a book always stays on the site. Additionally, no changes to any edition should be made except to correct faulty data. In other words, an edition that is a Kindle edition should not have its data overwritten with a paperback edition, for example.
If this title has not been published at all and is not available with this cover, the cover can be corrected but only by a Librarian. As an author, you have limited librarian privileges, but once you upload a cover, a Librarian is needed to change it.
If you upload the correct cover to your photos, a Librarian can grab it from there and fix the issue.

Hi Monique, thanks so much for your time and help. I really appreciate it. I've just uploaded the correct cover to the "other" photo section on the book's page. Can you or someone please delete the existing and replace with the correct image? Thanks in advance.
