Guide

Use Catalogue to learn about the people and voices behind public books.

Open Catalogue and choose Authors or Narrators to learn about the people behind the books. Team applications now live with ARC and PR campaigns in Open ARCs & Teams.

Authors

Browse public author profiles and the books connected to each author. On phones and tablets, an author profile separates Profile, Books, and Opportunities into pinned chapters. Your signed-in author view may also include a private History chapter; public pages never expose that reader history.

Names with commas, periods, colons, parentheses, quotes, or backslashes search normally. Their public profile can still load matching request-form opportunities because the punctuation remains part of the name.

On a computer, opening an author profile moves keyboard focus into the profile. Tab and Shift+Tab stay inside until you close it with the Close button or Escape, then focus returns to the author card you opened.

Voice Gallery

Choose Narrators in Catalogue to open the Voice Gallery.

Browse narrator profiles and the books connected to their public catalogue information. Use search and profile pages to learn whose work appears on an audiobook. Add two or more voices to the combination shelf when you want only audiobooks performed by every selected narrator.

ARC Library checks public books for verified Audible editions even when they were not already marked as audiobooks. A matching edition can add its narrator, listening time, cover, release date, and Audible link to the public catalogue. Clear person names receive a Voice Gallery profile and connect automatically, while cast and synthetic voice labels wait for catalogue review.

Discovery information is public-facing. Your own private notes, tracking fields, and reading history do not become public simply because you open or follow a profile.
