We’re excited to introduce MyBookProfile.com — a public, shareable page for your book that brings all your information and retailer links together in one place.

Think of it as a smart profile for your book: beautifully designed, SEO-optimized, and perfect to share with readers, retailers, or media contacts. Best of all — it’s 100% free for ISBNdirect users.

Here’s what your page features

  • Cover, description, ISBN, and key metadata
  • Retailer buttons (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, and more)
  • Mobile-first layout with a clean, modern design
  • Optimized for Google search to help your book get discovered

How to activate your page:

  1. Log in to your ISBNdirect account, go to the Books page, and open one of your books.
  2. Then, switch to the My Book Profile tab and click the pencil icon next to “Inactive.”
  3. Click “Publish Now” to make your profile live.

We built MyBookProfile to give your book a permanent, professional presence online — without any extra cost. More features are coming soon, including social sharing functionality, reader reviews, and author pages.

Uploading your book cover is one of the steps when registering your book with us. While it’s optional, adding a cover can make your book’s profile on Bowker Bookwire look more complete and help attract readers.

We’ve made the process easier and faster. 

What's New?

• Drag and drop your cover directly into the uploader.

• Upload from your device, or connect with Dropbox or Google Drive to use files stored in the cloud.

• Preview your upload and make changes, like cropping or applying tweaks, right in your account.

Here's how to use it:

Existing books: Log in to your account, head to the Books page, and click on a book. Next to the current cover, click the pencil icon to open the new uploader.

New books: Go to the Identifiers page and click Assign Book next to an available ISBN. During the fourth step, you’ll find the upload button.

At ISBNdirect, we're passionate about helping authors and self-publishers expand their reach to readers who prefer different formats—whether it's the feel of a paperback, the convenience of an e-book, or the immersion of an audiobook.

To make this journey smoother, we're thrilled to introduce two improvements:

Clone Book

Say goodbye to manual work when expanding your book into new formats! With our "Clone Book" feature, you can now effortlessly duplicate an existing book to one of your available ISBNs, enabling you to offer it in various formats.

Here's how to do it: Login to our portal, head to the Books page, select one of your books, and click on the "Clone Book" button in the top right corner. A pop-up will appear, allowing you to choose the ISBN, target medium, and format. Once confirmed, we'll handle the rest—automatically registering your book with Bowker.

Improved Books Page

We've revamped the Books page with your convenience in mind. Instead of displaying ISBNs, we now show the medium and format of your books. This simple yet effective change makes it easier to distinguish between the same book in various formats. We've designed these enhancements to streamline your self-publishing journey, ensuring it's efficient and user-friendly.

With these new features, we aim to simplify your self-publishing journey and offer greater flexibility to cater to your readers' format preferences, whether they prefer the feel of a physical book, the convenience of digital reading, or the immersive world of audiobooks. We look forward to how these additions enhance your self-publishing experience.

We've listened to your feedback and are excited to introduce a helpful new feature! Starting today, you can find the imprint of your book in our portal.

When you visit the Books page, click on one of your books and scroll all the way down to discover the brand-new "Imprint Details" section. In this section, you'll find the imprint information you need when self-publishing a new book on KDP or other platforms. We've even included the Staten House logo, which you're welcome to add to your book to enhance its authority.

If you have a custom imprint, you'll see the name of your custom imprint displayed here.

We hope this feature simplifies your publishing process and provides clear guidance on utilizing our ISBNs effectively. Happy publishing!
