Why become a LibraryThing author?

Wouldn't you love to know what your favorite author has in their library, what books inspired them, or what they're reading now? That's the idea behind the LibraryThing Author program—giving readers a window into authors' tastes, and authors a great new way to connect with their readers.

How do I become a LibraryThing author?

To become an official LibraryThing Author, you must be a member of LibraryThing who is also a published (or about-to-be-published) author, and your book(s) must be entered into LibraryThing.

LibraryThing Authors do NOT need to allow comments on their profiles. (Go to "edit profile" to change that.) But they do need to have a public account, to let others browse their collection.

  • Add your readings and other events to LibraryThing Local. Events will then show up on your author page.
  • Sign up to participate in an Author Chat.
  • Add your photo, home page, interviews and other links to your author page.
  • Dress up your "Common Knowledge" section with where you went to school, your agent, where you're buried, etc.
  • Get your publisher to put one of your new books up for the Early Reviewers program.
