J.W. Phillips | 10 comments I added a book a month ago. I got my official cover yesterday. I cannot change covers. I added the same book with the correct cover, hoping I can combine them and I am not allowed to do that either. Please help me!!!

Holly (hollycoulson) Hi JJ,

Different covers means different editions, so you'll have to make the newest one your primary edition, so it shows on your profile.

OK. The books are sorted to the correct profiles (J.J. and J.W.) and I've added the J.J. to J.W. rename request to the relevant thread for the staff to do. Only staff can rename Goodreads authors.

I can move your claimed profile from being the J.J. profile to the J.W. one, but since the books initially had J.J. on the cover that will remain the primary author for all editions.

J.W. Phillips | 10 comments It was a misprint, I have even tried to delete that cover but it won't let me. The book is listed under J.W. Thanks for the help.

Nonetheless, it was published with that cover.

J.W. Phillips | 10 comments No, sir I was not it was published with the hands making a heart over the sunset. That is the same book. I never published a book with that cover.

That's the one with the author name that you said is the correct one. I am talking about this one: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Which has J.J. which you said is incorrect. But which was published.


message 12: by J.W. (new)

J.W. Phillips | 10 comments It was not published. This one was https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1....

Isn't that the one you just said was not published?


message 14: by J.W. (new)

J.W. Phillips | 10 comments I am sorry if I am unclear. I am on pain meds with a kidney stone. I have only published one book and it is the one with the hands making a heart over the sunset. the name on cover was JW. Thank you for helping.

What method(s) of publication are you using? Smashwords, Lulu, Amazon, distribution via your own website? Can you please link to it/them?


message 16: by J.W. (new)

J.W. Phillips | 10 comments Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GI50CM2

Smashwords: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view...

Can't figure out how to link them. Thank you again. You are a lifesaver.

Just providing URLs like that will link them.

It does seem that all changes to both cover and author were pre-pub. Remaining editions are here: https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...
