G.L. Tomas (gl_tomas) | 4 comments Hiya awesome book librarians!

I was wondering if anyone had time to remove some titles from my backlist. To provide some background, they feature separate themes from my current pen name, and I wanted them off my backlist so I can release them under an appropriate pen name.

I used to have librarian status under my personal account, but had to detail most my social media, including my personal account hehe. If anyone could reply to this thread, or dm me, I'd be happy to share the titles I require deleting!

Please help me out!

~G.L.

Goodreads policy is to keep all published editions/covers, so removing or deleting any details would be against policy. The Author FAQ may be helpful to you, particularly #2.

Hiya! As I stated in the request, these particular titles are unpublished. I'm self published, so added them in my haste, assuming I'd stick to my personal schedule. Any request I'm making is for a book that has never seen the light of day, nor has even been written.

Referring to them as backlist implies older, published editions, hence my assumption. You'll need to refer to individual titles (preferably with links) so that a librarian can see if specific titles qualify to be deleted.

My line title stated they were unreleased,sorry for the confusion. Was referring to GR backlist not purchase/release backlist =)

They've both got too many shelvings for me to delete; they'll require a super-librarian. I've posted in this thread https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... asking for deletion.

I got a response in the other thread; you'll need to contact support here https://www.goodreads.com/about/conta... to ask for the deletions.
