Kayleigh Patel (kayleighpatel) | 9 comments I claimed my author page, following the instructions, on June 24. I have not yet received any response. I also tried contacting Goodreads support 2 days ago and didn't receive any acknowledgement that my request had been received.

The Author FAQ mentions it can take "a few business days" to get an author page approved, but how long is a few?

rivka As Patrick mentioned here, we have a bit of a backlog at the moment, so it's taking longer than usual. Sorry about that! Our team is working on clearing the backlog as fast as they can.

Kayleigh Patel (kayleighpatel) | 9 comments Thank you, rivka! I must have missed that thread. That was exactly what I needed to know :)


Kendra G. ツ ~There is some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for~ (12kendrag) | 7 comments I have the same problem, but I'm wondering if the fact that my books are not published is keeping me from claiming my author page?

The author page that I'm trying to claim: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...


Debbie's Spurts (D.A.) Not published yet won't keep you from claiming profile so long as books are on goodreads where there is an author page to claim :)

Paula (paulaan) | 332 comments Fill in as much detail as you can, author profiles are less likely to be approved where there is very little data on the books especially expected/ published date

KendraG, the problem on your case is that your books are on Wattpad and aren't yet complete. Once they're done you'll be able to claim your profile.
