My current book cover image shows an arc copy. I would like to upload a new cover. Thank you

ARCs are valid listings for Goodreads. If the new cover uses same ISBN or ASIN you can add it as an alternate cover edition.

Your book has 3 valid editions already on GR. You can view them here -> https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...

Currently the ARC edition that went out to early reviewers is the default edition, the one with the "Not for resale" on the cover. This is a valid edition on GR because readers are allowed to shelve the specific edition they read.

As a GR Author you have the ability to set the default edition of your book yourself. Follow the instructions here ->
https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/...

You can set the official Kindle or Paperback edition as default, whichever you wish. :)

p.s.@Barbara, you should also add "Advanced Review Copy" (without the quotes) in the edition field of https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... so it is clearly identified as an ARC edition. It won't show on the book page but does show up on the work page and librarians will hopefully see it and realize it's not a duplicate.
