Head to your profile from the dropdown menu in the upper right corner to access your dashboard, bookshelf, and the profile information that's visible to the public.

Dashboard

On the right, you'll see your personal post history. The left module displays your identifying information, which can be updated as often as you like.

Handle - This will be part of your Chapterly profile link, so choose wisely and try not to change it too often, since it will negate any link you've posted previously.

Display Name - This will appear on your posts and beneath your profile image. Feel free to use a false name, if preferred.

Short Bio - A brief line of text that will be displayed beneath your name on the profile page.

About - Use this space to give your audience a bit of background on you and your favorite reading preferences.

Location - This does not need to be your true location.

Questions and Answers - This section can be whatever you make it. You could give a bit more information about yourself or simply toggle it off if you prefer.

On the right side of your dashboard you'll see your post history.

Bookshelf

This section is also visible only to you. Any story you’ve purchased on Chapterly will appear on your Bookshelf. To purchase a story, go the story's profile page, either through a community post or through the author's own profile.
