Thank you for informing me. Do I need to change just the Good Reads Covers, or the Store Covers as well? Once I do change them will you be able to restore all of the order and series?

Emily | 17636 comments You can add new editions with different covers, but in order to be combined correctly, the first-listed author has to be the same on all editions. For Goodreads that means the author whose name is on the cover first from the beginning, sorry.

This is an issues. You see the name we go by is Leona Keyoko Pink, my husband Timothy Terry I are co-writers. I was unaware first name mattered on a cover. I have had an account on here for nearly 10 years and it has always been Leona Keyoko Pink first and all Series have been under the name. The covers have never matted until five days ago when I request another series be compiled. I will change all of the covers everywhere if we have but the primary name needs to be Leona Keyoko Pink it is how our fans know us and find us. Is there no way to resolve this matter.

Timothy Terry | 1 comments I think the real issue here is that goodreads isn't attributing both authors as authors of the series under their series pages. I've been reading through the librarian manual about authors. Here's the snippit I was looking at specifically, "Authors should be listed in the order they appear on the book cover. If there is no cover or covers of various editions differ, use alphabetical order."

So it seems to me that a workaround would be to release a new edition of every book with a different cover, which would then require the books to be listed by alphabetical order according to the librarian manual and would put Leona Keyoko Pink back in the first spot.

However, it seems like a lot of additional work to simply have the series listed differently. Each author listed in a series should have that series appear in the series section of their author page - not just one of the authors.
