Jan Thompson (janthompsonauthor) | 113 comments I am trying to set the default cover but my latest cover for the book is not showing on GR. They are on Amazon though. What to do?

GR shows these two old covers:

Amazon has my latest cover but the "edition" is not on GR:

Unfortunately this is true for all the covers that I have updated in the last year. Please advice. Thank you!

David Raz (davidraz) | 13114 comments I created a third edition for you: Know You More. As the author, you can choose which edition will show as default, information here.

Thank you so much! How do I created an edition myself? I have to go through 2 series to update the covers. Thanks!

Please add links to the books with an updated cover and a link to the page on Amazon with the new cover and a librarian can create alternate cover editions for you.

Also, Wish You Joy is linked to the wrong author. It does have the latest cover, but it's not under my author page. It should be linked to my author page.

Thank you so much!

Wish You Joy moved to your author profile.

(Will work on the ACEs later if no one else jumps in first.)

The new covers (ACEs) are already combined with other editions of the same work, and each work in a given series will indicate the number of editions associated with it.

However, the default cover that reflects would be the most popular edition—the one that has been shelved most. If you haven’t done so already, you may want to set the default editions; see: How do I set the default edition for a work?

Jan Thompson (janthompsonauthor) | 113 comments Thank you very much! I just followed the instructions and updated all the books to default to the right covers. Hooray!

Thanks again!
