Hi! I need to delete my old covers for my two books, Give Me Love and Give Me Perfect Love. The old covers are the ones on there now ( The one of the city and the one of the tulips with the man holding up the girl)
The new ones are in my other editions. Thank you
Mod
As the authors, you will 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. Here's how: https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/3...

Can you please advise how I may upload a new book cover? The book has not been released yet.

Thank you for replying, but I just don't know what else to do. I don't really understand why we cannot just update the cover ourselves, tbh.
Kind regards,
Katze

Your alternate cover edition is located here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
And all editions of this book are shown here: https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...
I'm assuming that the third edition was an attempt to make the alternate cover edition show up. I'll leave it until you tell me that it can be merged.
You can follow the steps outlined here: https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/3... (as Rivka mentioned) to set the alternate cover edition as the default edition.
The editions section is cached so the changes (even though they are definitely made) might not be visible for 24 hours.

Paige, as per Rivka's reply to Katze, Goodreads does not delete older covers. To make a new cover edition the default edition, follow the steps outlined here: https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/3...

Also, do you have an ASIN for the book? I can't find it on Amazon.

I'm new to this *hides under rock*, and no it hasn't been published yet and it's not got an ASIN as it's not on Amazon yet.
I have already created an alternate cover edition, but if I could delete that, and stick with the newest book cover version (since it hasn't been published yet) I would much prefer to do that!

One last question where any arcs released with the old cover?
No ARCs were released with the old cover. Only with the new one, which went out today. Is it possible to have the 1st edition of Alpha's Bane removed?
Please can you delete my current book cover for Alpha's Bane (Katze Snow), the one with the tattoos, and replace with my new one (the girl version of book cover)? Thank you so much!!
Alpha’s Bane
