Robert (booklover_83) | 5 comments Hello Everyone!

I am a listed author on Goodreads and was trying to update the cover for my entry entitled Aftermath: A Memoir of the Salem Witch Trials. I was informed that I am no longer able to do that.

I have a cover that I will be using instead of the one that is currently seen on the book's entry page. How do I have the updated/correct cover uploaded to the book page and show it as the default cover? Thank you.

At Goodreads, we keep all covers, even for out-of-print or out-of-date editions. Instead of getting rid of old covers, we create alternate cover editions. I can create an ACE for your book, Aftermath, if you can provide a link to the new cover here. Then as the author, you will have the ability to set the default edition to the new cover, should you wish. Doing so will ensure that the new cover is what appears in search results for your book and on your author profile page.

Z-squared | 8575 comments Okay, I made the ACE for you here:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Do you have any other info I can add about either edition? A publication date, the publisher (or is it self-published?), a synopsis?

Regardless, to set the new cover as the default, follow these instructions:

Robert (booklover_83) | 5 comments It is a self published book and I have a synopsis that I am going to put here. I am working on getting it out soon but I do not have a publication date set in stone yet as I am finishing the edit process. I am having some problems changing the default edition but I will work on that. Thank you again!

Prudence Ashford is a woman living in Boston 10 years after the Salem Witch Trials of 1692. She experienced the trials and their devastation first hand. In this thrilling new novel readers are taken through the feelings and thoughts of one villager who "can still hear the snap of necks coming from the gallows" Follow Prudence through her ups and downs, through love and tragedy. What she reveals about what happened in Salem will shock you!

It looks like you've set the new cover as default correctly. Let us know if you need anything more.
