Unpublished book needs updated cover design

[Lianne]

Help! I uploaded the .jpeg cover image for my soon to be published book, and created a giveaway for it. But I've now changed the cover image slightly to make the subtitle into title format instead of sentence format (i.e., initial caps) to match the inside title pages. The image on Goodreads has not been published and will not be, as the issue has been corrected at the publishing house. In this case, since it hasn't been published yet, can I upload a new image? I could do it as an "additional image" if someone could then replace the cover image? I don't want to interfere with the current giveaway. But if I can't change this, Goodreads will forever display a cover that never existed. Thanks for any help you can provide.

You can re-upload it now. There are a few things not to be done while a book is in a giveaway, although I don't think covers is amongst them.

I wouldn't expect it to be a problem. The only things that I know occasionally (actually very rarely, but caution is good) have caused problems all have to do with deletions/merges and the like, IIRC. Or changing the ISBN, but that's bad anytime.

Hi, I need my cover updated. Currently my dashboard shows the old cover. I do see the current cover showing elsewhere as another edition (it's not a new edition), but I would like the newest cover to show in my dashboard. I have just uploaded the sequel and would like the continuity seen in the covers under my profile.
