M.A. Demers | 32 comments I just published another book and want to add it to my author page. I managed to add the book but I cannot recall how to add the cover. As it is currently only available on Kindle, and Amazon is no longer a data source, how do I add the cover image?

ISBN: 9780986891465
Title: To Kindle in Ten Steps: The Easy Way to Format, Create and Self-Publish an eBook on Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing.

M.A. Demers | 32 comments Managed to add the cover. The problem was the "edit" is greyed out so it appears to be inactive even though it is not. Thanks for your assistance.

Deji (dejiridoo) | 9 comments Hi there,

I'm the author of two books on Goodreads. My friend added them but she did not link to the cover. I also have a second book with the cover missing.

1. "Everyone Comes from Belterra".

2. "The Moon Rock Thief".

I own the rights to both of these books.

Thank you so much for your help!

We cannot use covers or other book data from booksellers like Amazon.

Aarene, you can claim your author profile, and once you have been accepted into the Goodreads Author, Program, you will be able to add your book's cover image yourself.


message 16: by Pubslush (new)

Pubslush I am having the same issue where I am not able to upload my book cover to the book I just created. Our book is a beautiful mess by Ali Berlinski. I dont have a link for the cover. I can email it to you in a pdf. Can you provide your email?


message 17: by Julia (new)

Julia George | 6 comments Could someone please add a cover image for the kindle edition of Galya Popoff and the Dead Souls? I've tried but my image from my photo files isn't accepted. I'm the author. Also, when you type in the author name, Julia George, the title is misspelled on the page that comes up. It should be Galya Popoff and the Dead Souls - not Galya Popofe. This error makes it impossible to access the book by typing in the title. Thank you so much. Julia Odegard (pen name Julia George)


message 18: by Emy (new)

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments Hi Julia,

I've fixed the typo, but can you provide a link to the cover image, or is it the same as the other two editions.

Also, are all the titles under Julia George yours, or should they be separated out?

John Dispitto | 6 comments Dear I'm Italian reader. I have many Italian books that are edition without cover, but I have the cover on my computer because are cover image scan directly from the books, but I have no http link to put on the posts and so I do not know what is the best method to request the upload of the cover to a librarian if I can not add myself the covers?
Thank you so much for your support
Andrea

message 31: by Louise (new)

Louise Folger | 1 comments I need help uploading the cover for my book. Here is the book information.

Title: Be Thankful for the Little Things
Author Name: Louise Folger
ASIN: B00FR6E3GY)
URL for cover image: http://loralenterprises.com/?page_id=147
Publisher: Loral Enterprises Publishing
Publication date: 10/10/21013
Format: Kindle
Description:This book of has fun rhymes and colorful pictures will help you start talking to your child about being thankful for the little things. It also has a gentle reminder of the love of God. Imagine being able to teach your child to feel blessed even if they don’t have a lot of material possessions. So often children feel they have to have money or the expensive toys and clothes to be happy. However, we often see people who have wealth and possessions who are not happy. Gratitude teaches them that money does not always bring happiness and to find happiness in little things that we experience in our daily life, like the sun, stars, family and animals in nature. Studies have shown that there is a strong connection between gratitude and a child’s attitude and happiness in life, both as a child and in their adult life. Some of the benefits of teaching children gratitude include:

•Children who understand the importance of thankfulness have an increased joy for life
•Feeling of gratitude decreases depression Grateful children are more courteous and polite
•Thankfulness makes children more sensitive to others feelings Children Appreciate the work their parents do to provide for them.
•Being Thankful increases confidence in children
Gratitude can be a difficult concept to teach to children gratitude is not a natural behavior. It has to be taught. With the help of this book parents can begin to talk to their child about gratitude and have fun with the rhymes and pictures at the same time.

message 39: by David (new)

David DuRocher Here are two books of mine. They are actually the same book exactly. I need to combine them into the paperback edition of my book: Heaven is in Your Future.

And, I also need to add my cover. I am providing here a file I have taken from CreateSpace. Here are the two identical versions of my book. If this discussion group can not combine them then please add my CreateSpace cover to at least one of them.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

here is my cover: please take it from Amazon.

http://www.amazon.com/Heaven-Your-Fut...

I attempted to send the jpg file but I could not get it on this message board. I can send it by email if necessary.


message 40: by Koenraad (new)

Koenraad (koenraadkelemen) | 6993 comments #40 Fixed - there are now three editions (Ebook, Kindle and Paperback)
Ebook
Kindle
Paperback

As the author, you have the ability to change which edition of the book is the default, which will come up in searches by title and show on your author profile (this is something librarians cannot do, so it is up to you). Here's how: http://www.goodreads.com/help/show/31...

We cannot use book covers or other book data from booksellers, with the sole exception of Amazon. If you have a copy of the book, you can scan the cover yourself.

That appears to be the image from the bookseller uploaded to photobucket, not a scan.

We still cannot use it.

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
We can only use a scan if it's from a user, not from some random internet person. Too hard to be sure what the real source is in the latter case.
