Accessing the author dashboard

[Jill]

Hello,

So far, I've found most aspects of the Author Program to be easily understood and implemented. One suggestion: could you please add a link to the author dashboard to the drop-down menu shown under our photos? The only way I've found to get to my dashboard is by clicking on my title.

Thanks,
Jill

There's a link to the Author Dashboard on my GR home page, too. However, I tend to use the iPad app and that doesn't have a link, so I agree that having it in a drop down would be useful.

I don't understand the problem. On your home page, where it shows "Recent updates" there are two obvious links to your author dashboard in the top right of the screen. There's a photo of one of your books and two links to the dashboard above and below it. I'm not sure how much easier it could be. You can't get to the author dashboard from your author profile page, but you just go to your home page to go there, or your book page.

I don't use the Goodreads mobile site on my phone, though, because there's no link to the author dashboard. I agree there should be some kind of link in the mobile site or app.

I don't often go to that page. I'd like the link to be in the top navigation bar, not limited to an individual page.

I am a goodreads author and advertiser. How do I log in to add money to my advertising account (and would someone tell these people to hire a programmer so authors can do business with them?

You can do this by visiting your author dashboard, then scrolling to the Advertise your Book heading. Once there, click on "View your campaign stats" and then add funds at the top left.
