Getting Started

How to complete onboarding

Set your public identity, interests, Author or Influencer tools and optional privacy choices.

All members

Who can use this

A verified email address and an active sign-in session.

Steps

  1. Start at Step 1 after verifying your email.
  2. Add the display name and unique lowercase username other members will see.
  3. Choose your book and community interests so relevant ARC and member activity can be easier to find.
  4. Choose whether to add Author tools, Influencer tools, or both. These capabilities are added to the same account and do not create separate Home pages.
  5. Review the optional communication, analytics and public-profile choices. They remain off unless you select them.
  6. At Step 7, select Complete onboarding.

What happens next

My Blurbly opens Home with Reader, Author and Influencer tools available according to your saved choices.

Common problems

The username is rejected.
Use 3–30 lowercase letters, numbers or underscores, beginning with a letter. Try another name if it is already used.
You chose the wrong capability.
Finish onboarding, then change Author or Influencer tools in Account without deleting saved work.
