Hi, Kristina,

Thank you for providing the valuable information about Medium’s Book Author Badge.

I tried submitting the ISBN # and cover photo for my published book to Medium, but the button doesn’t work. Is there another place for me to upload the information?

BTW, I really enjoy your work, including the YouTube videos.

Thank you very much!

Happily,

~ Gina ~

I went through the process of verifying my book over two weeks ago and I still have no badge. I shared my ISBN number and figured I'd have a badge by now. 😟

I did, once, in December, on Medium, when the publisher of one of my books had a discount sale. The article got read a lot but I don't know if it translated into book sales.

Ah I see. Please mention me once you write about your sales so I can feature you as I did with Jack. Have a wonderful weekend,David.

Thanks for the shout! I appreciate it! I also found out, I won’t get verified since I don’t use ISBN numbers. But that’s okay. Medium will catch up.

Hi Jack, You're very welcome. Saw your tweet and it fit perfectly. I hope this shoutout supports your newsletter. I have one spot left so if you want to I could recommend your newsletter and you mine on your homepage. What do you say? I heard you can buy ISBN numbers. Hopefully, Medium will accept ASIN's in the future too.

That would be great! I’m due for a homepage update and I think a lot of people can benefit from your knowledge and experience!

Yes! And I want to support small business owners like you and Jamie instead of big fish such as Denning. On Substack it's all about cross posting and helping each other grow. So would be awesome. If I have all 5 pubs together, I'll let you know via Substack. When a story fits, I will also cross post your article. Another idea would be an interview. Would you be interested in that? I think I asked you already last year.

That’s sounds great! Let’s keep in touch about it and maybe we can do something similar on my end!

I am a traditional and self-published author, and have applied for registration. I hope this will help expand my book sales, which have been underwhelming so far.

Hi David. What an honour. Fingers crossed. Let us know how it goes. Have you already shared some information on your book sales?
