User talk:Ara 13

Hi Ara 13! Welcome to Wikipedia! I removed references to your novel in in the article Metafiction. As you appear to be a self-published freshman novelist whose first opus was published only last year, I'm afraid your work fails to meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Please understand that this is in no way a judgment of the quality of your work, nor do I wish to discourage you from contributing to Wikipedia frequently and copiously. On a personal note, the novel looks fascinating and has gotten some very warm reviews on Amazon.com. I may need to read it, which, I realize, was your purpose for including it in the Metafiction article in the first place. So in this case your self promotion may succeed in boosting sales by 1 copy. Please be satisfied with this boon and read the following guidelines before mentioning Drawers & Booths in this or other Wikipedia articles: Conflict of interest Notability

Congratulations on the novel and welcome!
