Create The StoryGraph Author's Page
Before you start (important)
As of now, StoryGraph doesn’t have a simple “claim your author page” flow like Goodreads. What you can do is: create a public StoryGraph account that functions as your “author-facing profile,” and then make sure your books/editions are in the database and correct
Now let's get started
- Go to The StoryGraph Sign up if you don't already have a account
2. Manage Your Account
Go to Manage Account (in your settings/account area)
-
Username (ideally your author name / pen name)
-
Profile photo (headshot or author logo)
-
Privacy → choose Public if you want readers to find you easily
3. Add your bio / Link your profile
-
Add a short bio (who you are + what you write)
-
Add website/newsletter/social links (where available)
-
Keep it consistent with your Amazon/Goodreads author bio
Now let's make sure your books exist on StoryGraph
Search your author name and your books on "Search" box
Use the site search for
-
Your book title
-
Your author name/pen name
Open the book page and check
-
spelling of author name
-
editions/formats
-
cover image
-
ISBN/page count (where relevant)
If the book exists but the edition/format is missing
Open the book’s page.
- Click Editions.
-
Click Add Edition (top-right).
-
Fill in the missing edition details (ISBN, page count, cover, etc.)
-
StoryGraph’s team/volunteer librarians review and apply corrections
If something is wrong (or you can’t fix it yourself) submit a ticket the “official” way
The StoryGraph’s Contact Us says that book information issues should be submitted via a ticket from the book’s page.
Quick checklist

Bio added (genre + hook + “start here” book)
