How do I change the cover art for an audiobook that is live?

Note:

• Changes to the cover art on a live audiobook are subject to the same quality control and processing as new projects. Please ensure the cover art adheres to the cover art requirements.
• Changes to cover art will not impact your audio files. Your new cover art will be sent to the appropriate team for processing. 

How do I use the same cover art from my print edition?

This will depend on whether you have the rights to it and the details of the file. Check your contract for any rights assigned to you by the book jacket artist or print publisher. As an example, if the book jacket combined an image from one artist with text from a separate graphic artist, you will need to be sure you have all of those rights.

Additionally, in order to use the cover art from the print edition, you will need to make sure it meets cover art requirements. As an example, print covers are typically a vertical rectangle shape; but Audible audiobook covers are a perfect square.
