message 1: by Brad (new)

Brad (thebradking) | 15 comments My co-author and I have a second edition for our book, Dungeons & Dreamers, coming out in March. The second edition is substantially different, has a different subhed and publisher, and a different focus.

On my author page, the new edition is no longer listed in My Books. Instead, it's folded into the 3rd edition of the book, it has the old title, and the old subhead. This is a problem for obvious reasons -and I was hoping this could get fixed.

You can see the old orange/blue cover (and subhead) here: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... (and the book is here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...). I have linked to the 2nd edition -- the one we'd like to show -- above.

Also, the second edition has been substantially reworked, it would be nice to have those reviews not attached to the second edition. How are those decoupled?

(As an aside; I've tried to re-organize the My Books section based upon publication date, but the new cover/title/book never shows up.)

Thanks for your help.

The various editions of a work are combined under Goodreads policy. However, as the primary author of the work, you may choose which edition is the default, which will come up in searches by title and show on your author profile. Here's how: http://www.goodreads.com/help/show/31...

Brad (thebradking) | 15 comments Thanks Rivka.

Originally it wasn't combined, but apparently it happened while I slept. I didn't want to make changes without ensuring I wasn't violating some rule of law :)

Chuck Alderman | 11 comments Brad fixed me up earlier, but now from under "my review" on down has the loading wheel turning. My reviews on my book aren't showing. Full Circle by Chuck Alderman

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments Hi Chuck, this happens sometimes for me too. Dont' worry - the reviews won't be lost, but it may take a short while to straighten out.

If you wish to join the Goodreads author programme, follow this link .

If you have any further issues, please start a new thread as it gets confusing when a thread linked to a specific title is used for discussing others. :)
