Susan May (susanmaywriter) | 3 comments Hi, Could you please replace this cover that now carries a cover blurb from an author. Thanks so much. It has already been published. Here is a link to new cover: https://d.gr-assets.com/photos/143848...

Thanks so much for your help.

Susan May

Arenda | 26447 comments Goodreads policy is to keep all published covers on the site, as users want to shelve the cover of the copy they have.

Added the isbn to the existing paperback edition. Also removed bookseller link and reviews from book description. According to Amazon the cover for the paperback did not change.
The Kindle edition with the new cover was already on your profile. It was incorrectly combined with the short story version of Dark Again. Separated those and combined the full length paperback and Kindle edition.
This is a link to the Kindle (new cover) edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

As the author, you have the ability to change which edition of the book is the default,
which will come up in searches by title and show on your author profile.

Susan May (susanmaywriter) | 3 comments Hi, Actually, I've just realised, when you did all this, you've actually combined the short story version of Back Again and the Novel version Back Again the short story has a green cover and was released earlier last year, no paper book for it.

the novel was released november 14 and has a paperback. Could you uncombine them please. Thank you.

I'm a bit confused now. I separated a short story.

These two are combined.
Novel, paperback: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Novel, Kindle: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

There are now three separate editions apart from the novel. I think these are all the short story (55 pages) and should be combined?

Short Story, green cover, ebook 56 pages: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

ebook 9781311932549, yellow cover, according to the description this is also the short story, 56 pages. Is that correct or is this the novel? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Kindle, novelette, 55 pages according to description: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Is there a difference between short story and novelette? Both have 55/56 pages.
The Green cover edition is marked as an alternate cover edition for isbn 9781311932549 and should be combined with isbn 9781311932549?

Susan May (susanmaywriter) | 3 comments Yes I think you are right there. All books marked as short story or novelette are the same book. and should be combined. The main cover is the green cover. There should be only two versions of the book version. thank you for your help... :)

Susan May (susanmaywriter) | 3 comments I see now that the novelette is out on its own. Would you mind combining that with the short story. They are the same. Many thanks.


message 9: by Arenda (new)

Arenda | 26447 comments Two novel editions were combined.
Three short story/novelette editions are combined now.
You can make the green cover the default: Here's how: https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/3...

Arenda | 26447 comments I'm sorry for all the confusion, but everything should be ok now. Only later I noticed you made two other requests about this issue.


message 11: by Susan (new) - added it

Susan May (susanmaywriter) | 3 comments Thank you Arenda. Could I just confirm that the green cover will show as the main edition to people who are looking at my page, please? I've just set it as my main edition, but not sure if that is throughout the site or just for me. Thanks for you help. No problems with confusion. It is confusing. lol.


message 12: by Arenda (new)

Arenda | 26447 comments On your book page, the green edition is showing for me as the default.
When I search for Back Again, the old cover is still showing, but that might be a caching issue.
When you made the green cover the default, it is (should be) showing throughout the site.
