Change cover request

[Meredith]

Hi, this book hasn't yet been published (except for pre-order on Amazon), but I've changed the cover (slightly). Could someone help me switch out the original cover for a new one?
Thanks so much!

has the old cover been distributed on any advanced reader copies, either ebook or physical formats?

[Meredith]

Only to one person. That's it.

Unfortunately, that counts as distribution, so I can't delete the old cover. However, I can mark it an ARC edition and move the ASIN over to a new edition with the new cover:

You can set the default cover of any of your books by following the instructions here:

Thanks very much! When I went in to find the book in my list of books, it wasn't there at all, so maybe someone deleted it? Anyway, I added the book again. If it shows up somehow, I'll combine the editions.
I appreciate your help!!

[Z-squared]

Nope, they're all there. They've just been combined. You can see them here on the 'all editions' page:

Oh! So even though I changed the title, it's being listed with the book under its original title? What if people search for it under the new title?

[Z-squared]

Searches under either title should pull up your book. As for 'listing', if you set the newest edition as the default, that is what will appear on your author profile. But it is Goodreads policy to combine books together if their content is the same, regardless of name changes.

Also, I think you just added the ebook edition here, yes?

The number you put into the ISBN field is actually the ISBN13, except now it's been truncated. Can you tell me the complete, 13-digit ISBN13?

[Meredith]

Hmm, sure, it's 978-0-9911590-7-9. And the two books do have different ISBNs.

[Z-squared]

that's fine. it's counted as a separate edition. now all FOUR editions are visible here:

by correcting the ISBN, the get-a-copy links will work better (e.g., Smashwords, which didn't work before with the truncated ISBN and resulted in an error).

[Meredith]

Thank you!
