Talk:Emily Gravett

Greenaway longlists
The CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal longlists, so-called in many of our articles, are simply lists of all books nominated (usually about 40 and "we are still checking the eligibility of these titles"). So I have reworded one "Awards" listing to say that Meerkat Mail was nominated for the medal and I doubt that is notable for someone with several greater recognitions. --P64 (talk) 23:21, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

Biography (personal)
Previously the personal biography was the lead sentence alone, "Emily Gravett is a British author and illustrator of children's books who lives in Brighton, England with her partner Mik, a plumber, and a daughter who is still in school."

I have replaced this using CILIP press releases as sources. One tidbit has been deleted in effect --the identification of Mik as a plumber -- because these sources do not support it.

The biographical blurb at her panmacmillan website ("About Me" at emilygravett.com) also calls him simply "partner Mik". Nothing in the blurb shows it to be more recent than 2007, which is the copyright date for the illustrations; that's prior to the latest CILIP press release that is also much longer, so I have ignored the blurb as a source.

 * Twenty hours later I have much expanded this biography. The underscore remains true bottom line. --P64 (talk) 21:05, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

Official website
The so-called official website hosted by publisher MacMillan, using domain name emilygravett.com, is now dead. I recovered the earliest 2011 copy at Internet Archive, after finding it dead at the earliest 2012 and earliest 2013 dates. As it is not currently official I replaced that template with a plain link (emilygravett.com). --P64 (talk) 17:35, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
