message 1: by Tanzania (new)

Tanzania Glover (tansaidwhat) | 22 comments Hi I recently had to change the order and include a new book in my series and I need someone to update it as well as add a photo and synopsis to Book 2. All of the correct details have been updated on Amazon (Book 2 has the same synopsis as Book 1)

Thank you!

Book 1: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
Book 2: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
Book 3: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
Book 4: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

Leilin (leilinbooks) | 1787 comments Amazon's description says that Book 1 has now been split in 2: if this is the case we cannot renumber the series, we will need to make two new entries for Book1-Part1 and Book1-Part2 and your initial book 1 will then be Book 1-2.

Let me know if I misunderstood what is happening, otherwise I will do so.

Tanzania Glover (tansaidwhat) | 22 comments For now can you just add the new covers to Books 2-4?

Leilin (leilinbooks) | 1787 comments I updated Book 3, book 4 was already as it is on Amazon. I adding book 2 as described in message #4 above then -> for me to do so, was the last update of the cover of book one only for Book 1 Part 1 or was it also updated before you split it?


message 7: by Tanzania (new)

Tanzania Glover (tansaidwhat) | 22 comments The cover for Book 1 is fine. Can you add a cover for Like A Broken Record?


message 8: by Tanzania (new)

Tanzania Glover (tansaidwhat) | 22 comments Oh and Like A Broken Record is now Book 2. It's completely separate so is there still no way it can be added?


message 9: by Leilin (new)

Leilin (leilinbooks) | 1787 comments Please, refer to message #4
I'll send a link to the series once I am done for you to see how it now looks :)


message 10: by Tanzania (new)

Tanzania Glover (tansaidwhat) | 22 comments Ok thanks.

Leilin (leilinbooks) | 1787 comments Done:
https://www.goodreads.com/series/2807...

So to re-explain a bit more clearly:
What was Book#1 is now Book#1-2
I left a note on what is now Book#1 and Book#2 to explain that they are the result of splitting the Kindle edition of what was Book#1 (with a link to that original Kindle edition)
-> that should avoid confusion.

As best as I can tell, only the Kindle edition has been split, not the paperback edition.


message 12: by Tanzania (new)

Tanzania Glover (tansaidwhat) | 22 comments The paperback edition has been split as well, but they are not available yet. Can you fix the issue where The Beat Goes on is still being shown as Book 3 and update the cover?

It is marked as book 2 everywhere, I am not sure where you see it as book 3 still.
As for the cover it is added already: https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...
As the author, you have the ability to change which edition of the book is the default, i.e. the one which will show on your author profile, in non-ISBN-specific searches, etc.
Here are the instructions: How to set the default edition.

When it is, just re-post here to let me know and I will do the same (moving the ISBN, adding notes, etc.). Do not create a new thread though, as this situation is a bit particular and you would likely have to re-explain everything: it will save time to simply post here :)


message 16: by Tanzania (new)

Tanzania Glover (tansaidwhat) | 22 comments Oh sorry I meant that The Beat Goes On is being shown as Book 2. It is now Book 3. And thank you for all of your help.

Leilin (leilinbooks) | 1787 comments Oh, I see what you meant for the numbering: corrected!

Please do not combine Book#1 and Book#1-2, they are meant to be two different entries. Have a look at the series as it appear right now and at the notes I left on Book#1 and Book#2, it should help understand how this works.
