Create a Hardcover's Author Page 

Create an author's page on HardcoverApp

Here's how to make an account on Hardcover

there isn’t a separate “Author Account” type the way Goodreads has. But you can create a normal Hardcover user account to edit book/author data

  1. Go to Hardcover

  • Click "Log In" if you're already have an acoount 
  • To sign up click "Join"
  • Choose your email and password and complete the sign-up form.
Sign up with Hardcover app

2. Log in after signup

Go to your profile and fill in the basics:

  • profile photo

  • bio (short “about the author”)

  • links (website / social links if you want)

3. Author control

  • Apply to be a Hardcover Librarian (Hardcover’s FAQ says Librarians can edit data for books and authors, and that authors should mention they’re an author in the application)

  • If you use Discord, link your Hardcover roles with Discord (this is how they gate extra Discord channels for roles like Librarian/Supporter)


If your author page/books have issues (missing book, wrong edition, duplicate author entries)

You can go to Hardcover support 

Hardcover app support
