The company scholarship winners were announced today. One girl's stated
goal is to "become a fictional novelist". Does that mean she doesn't
exist at all or that her writings don't?

I think it means she lies on her resume.

I actually know (or knew) a fictional novelist. N is (or was) a Florida expatriot, living on an allowance from her upper-crust family. She always listed "writer" on her IRS forms, although she never wrote anything longer or more complicated than a check.

I think she's just being honest. She'll really be a waitress, but tell people she's a novelist.
