Please help me and change come covers

[M.J.]

Hello I need help with several of my covers that need to be changed.
I asked a few months ago for the burning souls series to be updated and had no luck.
This is pretty important to me. Men of Steel
Zandor, Xavier, and Forever Steel Novella have been updated and are in process on amazon. Smashwords has already done so.

Thank you so much.

GR does not change covers on published books

You can add alternate cover editions

May I ask when that began? I've changed covers before.

[M.J.]

And will it show up as the cover on the main pic? I don't want people to think its a new book and buy it again.

GR has never permitted the changing of covers on published books, which is why authors no longer have the ability to do it since a number ignored policy.

In my first msg, if you look at the first link I provided msg 4 tells you how to set the new cover as the default

The reviews for all combined editions show on each edition's page, for any book. Yours will be no exception.

Phew, lol. Thank you so much!!

@M.J., once you set which edition you want as primary/default/featured, the goodreads cache can take some time (10 minutes to 72 hours usually) before it shows that way in all features like search results, on your author page, etc.

(If primary edition not set, goodreads just uses the most popular edition.)

[M.J.]

Thank you very much. I will wait and see.
Thank you again,
MJ

Actually, the default edition should immediately update on the author profile page and series pages. Search results too, usually.

The new edition (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...) has not been set as the default.
