Jan Ryder (janryder) | 15 comments I've ditched my author initials (previously J.E. Ryder) and am now using my first name, Jan, instead. I've uploaded new covers to all my book sites, except Goodreads. Is it possible for me to add the revised cover here, make it the default edition and still keep the reviews/ratings I've received on the previous cover/edition?
Thank you for your help.

Ren | 688 comments The way this is done on GR is by creating an alternate edition for the new Jan Ryder cover, which is I created here:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
I also combined it with the other editions, which will retain all your reviews/ratings.

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. See here how to set the default edition of a book.

I've also changed back the primary author of the other books to J.E. Ryder. What remains to be done is to add Jan Ryder as secondary author for those books, however GR will not let me do it (whenever I do, it saves and brings me back to the book page, but only the primary author J.E. Ryder is listed even though I entered both names). I must be doing something wrong but I don't know what, so can another librarian please let me know how to add Jan Ryder to those books?

Ryan Manganiello (ryan_manganiello) | 16 comments Nina if your still there or some other awesome librarian I need one last favor. Can you change this version of my book cover: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7...

To my new cover image shown here on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Marine-Memoirs-...

It's driving me crazy that it wasn't showing correctly on my homepage under the Authors Dashboard window link to the top right of the home page, Thank you, you guys rock!

Ren | 688 comments Ryan, I have reverted your title change for the book originally called "One Hundred Eighty Two Days in Afghanistan".

Goodreads policy is to keep all published covers on the site, as users want to shelve the cover of the copy they have. Instead, we add an alternate-cover edition. See the author FAQ and this help topic for more information.

I have created an alternate edition of your book here:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Please don't post your request in a thread linked to a specific author/book. You can open a new thread next time.
