If you’ve published a book, you can apply to become a verified book author on Medium. Verified authors get a profile badge to help readers know at a glance that they’re a published author. Authors also get dedicated space on their Medium profile to promote their book, as well as a dedicated Books tab to showcase all of the books they’ve written. Verification is free.
- Apply for verification through this form, which will ask you for your published book information (ISBN, title and description, cover photo, and contact information).
- We will review and verify your information and contact you in a few weeks.
- Once verified, your profile will include the official Medium author badge, a featured book, and a Books tab listing out your published books.
If you are already verified and want to add additional books to your profile, please submit a separate application for each book.
If you would like to edit or remove an existing book listing on your profile, or remove the verified book author badge from your profile, please submit a Help request. Removing the badge will also remove all books from the profile page.
