Girl Reading Books Too (girlreadingbookstoo) | 36 comments Hi, I got contacted by an author asking me to delete a question posted on her author page because she did not want to engage in it as it is quite negative. She said that she can't find any way to delete the question and I can't do it as a librarian. Is there anyway to delete the question? This is it.
Thanks.

Hi Deanna

The author will need to contact Support

Carol She's So Novel꧁꧂  | 2318 comments I've just had another look at this. This question is in the Readers Q&A, not the Authors Q&A, so this is why the author can't delete this. Readers Q&A is for the readers to ask questions of each other.

I would suggest you delete the link from your post Deanna as this may be considered calling members out - which isn't allowed in any of the official Goodreads forums.

Correct. Please remove the link from the first post, or I will have to remove the post altogether.

Thank you. I'll get her to contact support.

Thank you.

To elaborate on the larger question: Librarians have no ability to edit author Q&A, but the individual author does. Neither authors nor librarians have the ability to edit reader Q&A, which are meant to be between different readers, and are not meant for author input.
