Hi All,

Need to change my book cover as there is a new one. I made another edition with the new cover, but the old cover is still on the old one. Is there a way to change the cover on the first edition and delete the two edition? The new book cover is on my website, christinamariemorales.com.

Thanks for all you do.

I see that your book isn't published yet. The rules are, if a book has been published or pre-released in any format with the cover, then the cover stays. GR authors aren't allowed to update covers for this reason.

Have you released any ARCs of the book with the first cover?

No, I will not be releasing any ARC with this cover, only with the new one.

Thanks for letting me know.

I'll come back when it's been published and request a cover change then.

Hi, I would like to change the cover of my book, The Portal's Choice. The cover needs to be updated for both the e-book and the print book. Could you help me to get this done? Thank you so much,
KD Pryor

It's fine - as long as it hasn't been released, we can change the cover now! But I've just noticed that you currently have a giveaway attached to one of your books, so it might be best to contact support in order to clear up the cover issue and delete the duplicate, as otherwise it may mess with the giveaway. To do that, email support at goodreads dot com.

Hi,

Please can you in future start a new topic, as this one is currently linked to another book? Otherwise it can get confusing.

As for changing covers, GR policy is to not change covers of published works. Please see here for more information.

I have added alternative-cover editions for all books. They can be found here:
Paperback - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
Kindle - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
B&N - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1....

To make one of these the default edition that will show on your author profile, you need to follow the instructions here.

Thank you very much. I appreciate the help.
