More about author verification on Medium:
At this time, we are accepting applications for verification from all authors who have published books that include an ISBN (International Standard Book Number).
Verification on Medium means that the account has been confirmed to be the author of the book or books that are shown on their profile.
You do not need to be a paying Medium member nor be enrolled in our Partner Program to become a verified author. You simply need to have an account on Medium, a profile with complete information, and that you’ve published a book, of course.
Nope!
When you are verified, a blue icon will appear next to your name on your profile, your story pages, and most other places where your name appears on Medium. You will also receive an email from us when your application has been processed, whether it has been approved or not.
By the blue icon by their name, and the fact that they have a Books tab on their profile page.
We reserve the right to remove verification from an account if the account is found to not belong to the actual author of the book(s) listed, or if the account otherwise breaks our terms of service.
Yes, of course! You can request to have your verification removed by contacting us. Removing the badge will also remove the books from the profile page.
Write a Medium story! You can expand on the ideas in your book, share sections that were cut from the published version, or write on any topic you want. The more you write, the better your readers will get to know you and your work.
