Rosie Genova (goodreadscomrosie_genova) | 3 comments I've been a Goodreads author for a while now, and I've read and re-read how to add an alternate edition of a book with a new cover, but I confess I am hesitant to try it myself. (The last time I attempted it, I made a mess that the wonderful librarians cleaned up for me.) Here's the link to my profile page:

https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

The covers on five of my books have been updated. If a Librarian is willing to make these changes, I will provide my dashboard page and whatever links/files they need. If not, I could use some guidance in the process. Thanks so much!
Rosie

Rosie Genova (goodreadscomrosie_genova) | 3 comments Hi Martin,
For some reason, one of my titles gave me a "no validation" message and when I click on the three dots "create alternate cover edition" is not even an option. The other four updates went smoothly.
