Create a Hardcover's Author Page
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
- 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.
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
