Lede
, there isn't a single article about lede writing that will tell you to include the author's biography in the article on a novel. In addition, such writing as "has received praise from critics. The novel has also won many awards" is really not very strong. Not very strong at all. But I've tried to show you, in my edits and in my edit summaries, how a good lede is to be written--it's up to you to disregard my advice. Drmies (talk) 02:50, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
 * , I took what you said into consideration, looked at the links you posted, and modified it multiple times. I will try to make the language stronger. Also, you seem to be mistaking what the article is about. This is not an article about a novel, it's an article about an author. Wouldn't it make sense to, correct me if I'm wrong ,include a little biography in the lead? Despite the confusion thank you for your input as it was generally helpful.

 * Sorry, sure, this is about the author, not the novel (got confused I suppose because in your class students are tackling authors/filmmakers and their work, and I looked at a lot of them yesterday)--that doesn't change the core of what I was trying to tell you, though. Biography needs to be minimal--something like someone's educational career does not help the reader with anything. A Pushcart is relevant, a graduate award is not. That she's been published in many journals is not (it's par for the course). Thank you, Drmies (talk) 14:09, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
