Errors displaying English versions of books

[LB]

Hello, all the English versions of Elizabeth Haran's books are not showing up when searched. They can only be found via ASIN. The following books should appear: Island of Whispering Winds ISBN:9783838741338; River of Fortune ISBN:9783838736891; Dreams beneath a Red Sun ISBN:9783732502530, Staircase to the Moon ISBN:9783732520206; Under a Flaming Sky ISBN:9783838737379. All these books also need to display the updated cover. Once these titles appear in the search, is there anyway to make them show up first in an English search? Otherwise they are crowded out by the translations, even when an english-speaker is searching. Thank you for your help!

Where are those ISBNs from? What edition are they? Did they ever exist on Goodreads?

I found this book you added: Island of Whispering Winds, is that what you meant?

As for selecting the default edition, only the author can do that.

I found answers, see below.

Kindle alternate cover editions:

Island of Whispering Winds
River of Fortune
Dreams beneath a Red Sun
Staircase to the Moon
Under a Flaming Sky

ebook editions:
Island of Whispering Winds
River of Fortune
Dreams beneath a Red Sun
Staircase to the Moon (alternate cover edition, already existed)
Under a Flaming Sky

As for your request to make sure the English editions show first, this is called "default editions". Only the author can set the default edition. All you need is to get Elizabeth Haran to claim her account by following this link: https://www.goodreads.com/author/conf...

She can then set the default edition by following these simple instructions: https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/3...

Dear David, thank you for your help. Unfortunately, of all the books listed above, none of them show up on the author's page except for "Flight of the Jabiru" - Please note that "Flight of the Jabiru has been retitled and is now called "Dreams beneath a Red Sun." Is there a way to make these books show up on the author's profile, and to swap out the old "Flight of Jabiru" with the new title, "Dreams beneath a Red Sun?" Thanks again.

Only the most often shelved edition of any particular book shows; the English editions are there, combined with other languages. "Flight of Jabiru" and "Dreams beneath a Red Sun" are combined, but the first is the most often shelved edition currently. As David said above, only the author can over-ride the way this works and set a new default view.

The author page may take a few days to update. You may wish to look at the list of books, which is updated immediately: https://www.goodreads.com/author/list...

But even after a few days, when the author page is updated, it will not show the English editions, since they are not the most popular. What you are asking for is to change this behavior. I already explained how to do it above, but I will try to explain again.

What you are wishing for is to change the default edition. The default edition is set to the most popular edition, but this can be changed. You wish the default edition do be River of Fortune and not El río de la fortuna. You wish the default edition to be Dreams beneath a Red Sun and not Flight of the Jabiru.

As I mentioned above only the author can set the default edition. A librarian simply cannot do it. You need to get Elizabeth Haran to claim her account by following this link: https://www.goodreads.com/author/conf...

She can then set the default edition by following these simple instructions: https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/3...
