The Emperor of Ocean Park

 * ... that Yale law professor Stephen L. Carter (pictured) received one of the largest-ever advances from Knopf to secure the rights to publish his debut novel The Emperor of Ocean Park?
 * ALT1: ... that Stephen L. Carter's debut novel, The Emperor of Ocean Park, spent 11 weeks on the New York Times best-seller list following its publication ?
 * Comment - Black History Month is imminent, this would be a good one I think.
 * Reviewed: Missed call

 * Symbol confirmed.svg New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. I think ALT0 is a better hook. I added his profession since I think it enhances the hook fact. ALT0 hook refs verified and cited inline. No QPQ needed for first-time nominator. I have taken the liberty of adding the author's freely-licensed portrait to this nomination in case the promoter wishes to feature it on the last day of Black History Month in February. ALT0 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 21:43, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Awesome, thank you. I have to point out I am not a first-time nominator - I got Fiora Contino to DYK a couple of months ago, and around 10 others back in 2007/2008.  I just learned I need to review a DYK in return, so have done so. Fish +Karate  10:19, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg QPQ done, thanks. I thought I've seen you around DYK, but when I did the QPQ check, you didn't have any DYK credits. Yoninah (talk) 11:00, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
