Goodreads Librarians Group discussion

Hi

I used to be able to change the text and cover for this book. I have recently updated the cover and back blurb, and would like Goodreads to reflect it. Can this only be done by librarians? Or have i lost my librarian status for my author membership?

Best wishes

Nick

Typically authors are not allowed to retain librarian status.

I have created the alternate cover edition for this book. Covers should never be changed on the same record.

Hi Scott

I always did upload an alternative cover version, back in the day when i had librarian status. I am grateful for you creating the new one, though I am currently testing the cover to see how it looks as a thumbnail. I might ask you to replace it at some point.

I am considering leaving the title and author off the book. Does Goodreads require the author name and book title on the front cover? Does Amazon?

Finally, when finalised, I may well ask you to make the description I gave as the default description for all editions. At the moment, I am still uploading the new final cover and text. I hope this does not inconvenience you.

I hope you are well.

Best regards

You can put whatever you want on the cover. But please just let us know when it is definitely final, so we don't have to keep changing it.
