Goodreads Librarians Group discussion

Hi Librarians! I have new covers for three of my books and would be super grateful for help uploading them to Goodreads, and making them the default edition.

The books that need updating are:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

The new covers are all in one place on my website at http://www.serenaclarke.com/books/, as well as on all the retailers. (Not sure which place is best to link to.)

Any help would be really appreciated!
Serena. :-)

Goodreads policy is to keep all published covers on the site, as users want to shelve the cover of the copy they have.
Instead, we add an alternate-cover edition.
See http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...
and http://www.goodreads.com/help/show/85....

Alternate-cover editions added here:
All Over the Place: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
The Same But Different: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
A North So True: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...


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.
How to set the default edition.

Hi
I would like to update the cover of my book - really not sure how to proceed. Please advise.
Thank you,

Hi, Ralph. You did exactly right by posting a request here to update your book cover. :-)

The book you linked to is the paperback edition. That edition's cover has not yet changed on Amazon or the CreateSpace sites, although the Kindle cover has. Therefore, I only updated the Kindle cover. If the paperback cover changes later, just let us know.

Goodreads policy is to keep all published covers on the site, as readers want to shelve the cover of the copy they have. Instead, we add an alternate-cover edition. See Author FAQ and Adding an alternate-cover edition.

Here is your new alternate-cover edition.

As the author, you can set the default edition — that is, the one that comes up in searches by title and shows on your author profile. Here's how to do that.

I also added the Audible Audio edition, which was not yet in the Goodreads catalog.

Thank you so much!!!
