Plethora (bookworm_r) | 359 comments An alternate cover edition will need to be created.

Creating alternate cover edition

Was the previous cover sold under the same ASIN? B00EAYC35W. We do not use the ISBN for Kindle versions, so the current edition should be corrected (librarian will need to change) and then an alternate cover edition if the same ASIN was used.

Debbie's Spurts (D.A.) | 6325 comments See also author FAQs #3 http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1... -- if not comfortable creating the alternate (new) cover edition, just ask and a librarian can create for you. Once alternate cover edition created, you can set the new cover to be primary/default ( directions in FAQ section) meaning what shows in goodreads search results, author page, etc.

Banjomike | 5166 comments Ariele, claim your author profile here

Then you can set the new cover to be the one that people will see.

I followed the link and this is what I see:

my book cover (the old one) with 'Other Editions (1)" on the right side of the page showing the alternate cover (the new one - i.e the good one).

How would I set the new cover to be the one that people will see when they type in my name or book title ???

thanks again, "


Which link did you follow?

You need to 'claim' the author profile (ie. tell Goodreads that the author of that book is you) in order to be able to set the new cover. On the page I linked to in message 9 you should see a big button that says "Submit Application".

To be able to do certain things on Goodreads you need to have been a member for a few days. When did you join?
