Goodreads Librarians Group discussion

Kymberlee has asked me why it does not say (Goodreads Author) next to her name. The Book is called Compulsion. Please advise. I am new and on a non-smart phone. Thanks

Is this her first book? The only reason I can see is that she's not a GR author, yet, or because she has two profiles. Could she be listed differently? Without the hyphen, perhaps?

I did some poking, and don't see anything that looks like a second profile for her. And her author profile isn't showing info for her. She can go here and sign up to be a GR author, if she hasn't, already: http://www.goodreads.com/author/confi...

If she's already done that, it's probably still in the process. :)

Any author can be listed on Goodreads, but a "Goodreads Author" is someone who has signed up for the Author Program which gives them complete control over their author profile and has some book promotion features and the like. Just having a book listed or having a member profile does not automatically make you a "Goodreads Author."

I notice that she does have a member profile, so like Beth said she can follow the link in her post to sign up for the Goodreads Author program which will merge her member profile into her author profile - she can still add/read/review books as normal but will have added author functionality.

Thank you for answering my question so quickly, yes, she is a first time author, and I will ask her if she has signed up or not.
