[DONE] New Cover with Award Ribbon can't upload

[J.J.]

Hello! I've updated my cover for the book Corn Stories: The Detasseler's Bible to include an award I won. However, I can't upload it since I'm not a librarian. Do I send it to you or is the old one just locked in?

Also, since I'm emailing anyway. I've had a mistake edition for my Gusenstein's Galaxies book for a few years now (messed it up on my first time learning how to do it). It's pretty obvious which one is the wrong one.

Any help would be awesome. Thanks!

1) I merged/deleted the empty edition of 'Gusenstein's Galaxies'

2) With regard to the updated cover mentioning your Award (congratulations!), you can't simpy exchange the existing cover but you will have to create a so-called ACE (=alternate cover edition).

Since you're an authorized GR author and member of the GR Author Program, you should be able to perform these edits yourself. Find out how in this guide.

With regard to the updated cover, please bear in mind the following:

Delete Photo

When it comes to editions that have already been published, we can't actually delete or replace the existing cover images. This is because we don't want to delete an image that a member might have on the book they purchased. Instead, you can create an Alternate Cover Edition and set this as the default edition. That way, anyone visiting your author profile or searching for the book will see this edition first.

To add an alternate cover edition of your book, you can navigate your book's page and click on Add an Alternate Cover Edition. This will transfer all information from the existing edition over to the newly created edition, excluding only the publication date and cover. It also removes the ASIN/ISBN from the old edition and adds it to the new edition. A Librarian Note is added to both editions. You will then need to add the new publication date and cover to the new edition, and save.

Please edit this topic's title, marking it as [DONE] using the tiny EDIT-button at the right of the topic's title (only available for desktop/laptop, not in the app).
Don't forget to save.
