How to Set Up Your Amazon Author Page

An Amazon Author Page is one of the most effective ways to connect with readers, share your story, and showcase all your books in one place. It’s simple to create, but the details matter. Here’s how to set it up with care and clarity.

Start by visiting Amazon Author Central and signing in with the same Amazon account you use to publish your books. From there, follow Amazon’s prompts to claim your author profile. Search for your name or one of your titles, select it, and confirm that you are the author. Amazon may take a short time to verify your identity if your name is similar to another author’s.

Once verified, you’ll reach your author dashboard—the heart of your page setup. Here are the key steps to make your page stand out:

• Add a professional photo. Choose one that feels genuine but polished. Readers respond to authenticity.

• Write a strong bio. Keep it friendly, concise, and informative. Share what inspires your work and a bit about who you are.

• Link your books. Check that all your editions—print, Kindle, and audiobook—are connected. If any are missing, add them manually.

• Enhance with extras. You can include videos, blog feeds, or upcoming events. Linking your existing blog through an RSS feed keeps your page fresh automatically.

• Preview before publishing. View your page as readers will and make sure everything looks clean and consistent.

  
  

When everything feels right, publish your updates. Your Amazon Author Page will now appear alongside your books, giving readers an easy way to explore your work and learn more about you.

Over time, return to your page to keep it current—update your photo, refine your bio, or add new titles as they’re released. A thoughtfully maintained author page not only looks professional but also builds trust and connection with your readers.
