Goodreads Librarians Group discussion

My book Hotter on the Edge has a new cover. The cover is updated on Amazon and the other various sites. Can this please get update. Thanks so much.

We need a non-bookseller link to the cover (or you can upload to your photos under "edit profile" here on goodreads, just let us know it's there). Cannot use the "look inside" covers from amazon.

Once we have the bookcover image, an alternate cover edition will be created (more info at http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1... )

Is the image at http://www.hotterontheedge.com/ the new cover?

Yes that is it. Can you use that image?

Yes, I just did. Also created a series, added nook edition, and smashwords ebook edition ( series is currently descriptionless just let us know if you want a blurb added).

Because Erin Kellson is listed first, she's considered primary author. That means she sets which cover/edition is primary/default/featured (or you can contact support and request a staff member do, librarians actually cannot) or goodreads will just use the most popular/shelved edition.

Meaning which edition shows on your author pages to members, shows up when searching book title on goodreads, etc.

Do you want me to message her directions? (It's just going to book page for edition wanted, click "edit details" and down righthand colum midway is a choice to set as primary)?

(Easy to do for primary author, takes a l-o-n-g time for all the thumbnails to catch up correctly [long=2 to 72 hours depending on goodreads caching])

I would love for you to message her directions. Thanks so much for all your help. And you were so FAST! Please let her know the description is blank also. Thanks again. :)

I did; and copied you and Ms. Slade in as well. Message said "Hi, just FYI, K.C. klein had the covers updated via this discussion thread http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1... .

As more members shelve the new covers, the new cover will become the one featured when searched in goodreads, on your author pages, series info, etc.

Alternately, since your name was listed first goodreads made you primary author, and the primary author can set which edition/cover gets featured. (Librarians actually cannot.) if you wish to specify ehich edition is primary, either contact goodreads support staff using contact form under help menu or you can set it yourself. To set it yourself, go to the book page of the edition/cover you want to make primary; click "edit details" between book blurb and your review/shelving area; then midway down righthand side is a choice to set as primary.

I created a series and put Hotter on the Edge and Hotter on the Edge 2 in the series. I did not put in a series description (optional, don't have to)—if you or one of the other authors wants to write a short series description just post over in the librarian group like KC did for the updated covers.

Ugh..."eich edition is primary" should be "which edition is primary" ... Durn touchscreen.

wonderful thanks again!

Hi everyone.
My book's cover "The Last Nobleman" has been updated as in: http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Last-Nobl...
I would like to know how to update the Goodreads cover as well.
Thanks a million. Cheers.

Hi Luís,

We don't change covers on existing records - your books were all published with these covers previously. Instead we create Alternate Cover Editions.

EITHER: Just create a new edition without ISBN/ASIN and add the new covers. If you then let us know we can combine them with the old editions. Once the new editions are created and combined with the older ones, you as author can set the a new one as Primary edition.

OR Alternatively, if you would prefer us to do it, you will need to either upload the new cover to your Personal photos, OR provide us with a link to a NON-Bookseller site, we can add those for you. It would also help to know which formats have new covers.

Check posts #3 & #4 Here if you have any further questions.

If you want us to make the ACEs, please link to the book you want dealt with, and state whether the new covers are for all formats. :)
