Robert Bryndza (robertbryndza) | 22 comments Dear Goodreads Librarian group-

Hi, I'm the author/publisher of The Not So Secret Emails Of Coco Pinchard and I have a new cover image for the ebook, and 2nd edition paperback. I would like this please be added as the new default image for this title.

The new cover image can be downloaded from my website;

http://teambryndzabooks.com/the-not-s...

I also have the ISBN information for the Second Edition paperback. The details for this are as follows;

The Not So Secret Emails Of Coco Pinchard
size - 5.06" x 7.81" (12.852 x 19.837 cm)
Black & White on White paper
302 pages
ISBN-13: 978-1490380926
ISBN-10: 1490380922

The first edition paperback has now been retired on CreateSpace, no new copies will be printed but it will still be available and sold by second hand book sellers.

Please could you update all of this to reflect the changes,

Many thanks - Robert Bryndza (author)

Empress (the_empress) Hi Robert,

I added one edition, because I am not so sure of the covers.

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18...

Can you tel me if this cover is for both the e-books and paperbacks so I can fix it and another edition as well.
Can you tell me expected publishing dates for both?



Here you can see how to set up default edition:

Robert Bryndza (robertbryndza) | 22 comments Hi Ellie- thank you for this. This cover is for both e-book and paperback. The new cover should go live on amazon shortly, I have just uploaded it to KDP, the paperback will go live shortly too.

The ebook is already published, was originally published June 5th 2012 and the publishing date of the paperback will be today, 14th June.

Thanks! Rob Bryndza

p.s I see your reading Wool at the moment - me too - its awesome :)

Empress (the_empress) Hi Robert

This is the paperback: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18...
The kindle:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18...
And if you gonna have an e-book sold not on Amazon and with it's own ISBN number we have to add it as another edition. (we categorize as kindle only the editions with ASIN numbers)

Made the series for you here: http://www.goodreads.com/series/10593...


P.S. Wool is surprisingly good. It seems to me most Dystopian literature coming out these days is targeting mainly teenagers (or the so called Young Adults) which I am not huge fan of, though some books are lovely reads I find them lacking in content and ideas and inclined to the romance genre more then I would like them to. I guess the state of the society is just a setting, not the main theme, so yeah ... Wool is pretty awesome. It makes me come with those crazy ideas and I just really have no idea what to expect. And he keeps killing all the characters. I like that!! :D

p.s.(2) Why are you living in Slovakia? Family? 0.0

Karen (karenwb) | 11 comments Hi,

Even though I added the new, second edition of my book, the old cover still keeps popping up when I want to do a giveaway, etc. I added the new edition, new cover, etc., and thought everything was fine, but it still keeps happening. I made the new second edition the primary edition, but I must have done something wrong.

Here's my info.

Title: Until My Soul Gets It Right
ISBN:1475189036
ISBN-13:978-1475189032
ASIN: B0085LW4QY
Goodreads link:
Until My Soul Gets It Right

Thanks so much for your help!

Empress (the_empress) If you want an alternative cover edition (without ISBN to be listed) I would advise you to use the book ID. I "think" that is the number in the URL:

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17... or 17927096

Please try that.

Thanks, Ellie. I did, but it wouldn't go through. The system won't accept the book ID or the ISBN, but I'm not sure why. It is just a second edition with added bonus material for book clubs.

Would you mind checking into it? Thank you very much for your time and help.

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments If you are talking about the giveaway not being accepted then you need to contact GR support as per MSG 7. Librarians cannot do anything with giveaways and the books are correctly set up

I understand, and am sorry if I am at the wrong place, but I am talking about having the new cover and the second edition book come up as the primary edition. I combined the editions and chose the one I want as the primary edition, yet the old cover still keeps appearing on my author dashboard and when I tried to start a giveaway. That's the librarians, right?

Thanks.


message 11: by Paula (new)

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments No, because the giveaway requires an ISBN ( or other such number) to be on the edition, the alternate cover edition does not have an ISBN therefor you will not be able to use it without contacting GR support who can advise on a temp number to be used

Lorraine Taylor (lorrainet) | 12 comments Hi, I have my new novel coming out soon, and I'd like to change the book cover. I did try to delete the current one, but I couldn't.

The current cover is here StalkedThanks so much :)

The dashboard I think shows you the most popular edition and only you can see it. Please contact support. I have no idea what else to suggestGood luck


message 16: by [deleted user] (new)

Hi, I posted a new giveaway for my book, "The PureLights of Ohm Totem", and the old cover is still there. I was told it was changed to my new cover, which shows in my dashboard. The new cover has a completely different author's name. I wasn't allowed to choose the cover I wanted when posting the giveaway, so please help. :)

Empress (the_empress) Rivka maybe you should lock the topic, cause they keep posting here. I really have no idea what to advise them.

Dear authors, Librarians are readers that volunteered to help improve GR database. We have limited access and absolutely NO access/control over goodreads authors profiles, giveaways or anything else. ALL we can do is read the help files and think of a reason what might be the problem, but nothing beyond that. [we do not see your dashboard and we cannot make any changes in profiles, giveaways, therefore we have no idea how those things work]

There are groups to support authors. Please check those or contact support:

Help files for authors: http://www.goodreads.com/author/program
Authors feedback groups:
http://www.goodreads.com/group/show/3...

Posting here is futile. All I can say is that you can point out the correct book that will be send to the winners in the description of the give-away. [p.s. I didn't even know a give-away is limited to editions, I though it will be visible on all editions pages.]

Good luck to all.
Ellie
