There are plenty of plugins available which allow site visitors to rate posts, but I didn’t find any that gave the post author that functionality, so I wrote this plugin. Author Post Ratings adds a meta box to the post edit screen, allowing you to chose a 1-5 star rating for the post, or to leave it unrated. The plugin will automatically add the post rating (using stars, and an optional label) to the top or bottom of the post. If you wish, you can disable that functionality altogether and use a shortcode to insert the post rating anywhere in the post you choose. The plugin supports ratings for posts, pages, and custom post types, all of which can be individually enabled or disabled in the plugin settings. It is also fully internationalized, with Spanish language translation files included.
<h3>Translating the Plugin</h3>
The post rating label text can be changed in the plugin settings, so no translation is required for the frontend (public side) of the site. However, if you wish to translate the backend settings interface, the plugin is fully internationalized and ready for translation. There is a .po and a .mo file included in the plugin’s ‘languages’ directory for your convenience.
The plugin includes the following translations:

This is a very simple and lightweight Plugin for rating authors by visitors.
It allows the visitors to rate an author of a post, if they like any. On installation Average rating stars, “Want to ‘Rate this Author?” button and list of approved visitors(who viewed that author) is shown up automatically.
On clicking “Want to ‘Rate this Author?” button a popup form populates in the lightbox. A visitor can fill the required information i.e.:-
<ol>
<li>Name</li>
<li>Email</li>
<li>City</li>
<li>Visitor’s own profile image</li>
<li>Rating stars(Choose how many stars you want to give this author)</li>
<li>Comments.</li>
</ol>
and submit it.
On submission it goes in admin. An admin has access to all the reviews. Here he can either approve or delete a review.
An author also has access to review list but he can approve or delete only those reviews which were rated to him.
An admin can also change default error and success message in Admin -> Rate this Author -> Settings.
