So a friend of mine is about to sign with a major publisher. In her excitement, she started up a Goodreads Author page. To her surprise, she already had a story listed under her name. A story she put on Wattpad years ago and has since been removed.
She tried deleting the story and got into a fight with a GR librarian who told her they consider Wattpad a published platform and they will not remove the story. She emailed another librarian who told her the same thing. Even if you're the sole creator of the work, you have no say about it on Goodreads.
This story has never been published. It was only five pages long and on Wattpad for a short period of time. It doesn't have an ISBN number. She does not want it attached to her name.
Anyone know what she can do?
