Would like to set up Author Page

[Judy]

I would like to set up an Author Page. I believe I set up a Member page. Please help.

You can claim your author profile by clicking on this link to access the application. Complete the information — including selecting your book from the list provided — and then submit the application.

After the staff has completed their review, they will upgrade your current reader profile to an author account and send you an email confirmation. This might take a few business days, depending on staff workload, so please be patient.

Please note: Because your book's projected publication date is so far in the future, the staff may wait until closer to October before approving your author page. As Rivka noted above, if you haven't heard from staff after a few business days, you'll need to contact them for further assistance.

See The Goodreads Author Program for more information.

I would really like to have the Author Page up earlier so I can drum interest in the book and also have a give away. Anything you can do to help me with my debut novel would be appreciated. By the way, I didn't see the librarian moderator's name Rivka earlier. Not to spoil anything, but that name appears in the book. Thank you.

What we *can* do is input the rest of the details for your book. You won't be able to have an author page or giveaway without them. Do you have the ISBNs? What formats will there be?
