Author Membership/Dashboard Access

[Patrick]

Hi, I'm a published author in the past, but I've always published under a pen name. I'm going to start publishing under my real name and I'm planning on releasing my first book at the end of this month.

I wanted to get a step ahead on everything to set up my dashboard and maybe upload some short stories that I've won awards on to start gaining some fanbase or give my readers a preview of my writing. It seems like the only way to have access to a dashboard is to have a book actually published.

Since, I used to have a dashboard under my pen name (cancelled it recently as I'm starting fresh since I've gain more experience), is there any way I can have access on my dashboard early before publishing? Thanks.

Books published under the pen name stay listed that way on GR. It can be listed here before publication.

To claim a different author profile you need to add a book under the new name and then claim that profile.

Please see here for what short stories are considered published by GR.
