This is a great start, Tracy. I know this is slow going, so I can't quite tell, but it looks like you might be having a little trouble conceptualizing links and references. You use a "reference" (via the "Cite" tool, above) when you are quoting or getting actual information from an outside source. So you wouldn't, for instance, need to add a ref when you're already hyperlinking within Wikipedia, or when you're simply saying that she published something that you later include in your list of publications. I've gone through a cleaned up a few things, but there is more to be done--and be mindful of italicized titles, too. The other big issue for Wikipedia is going to be that they're not going to like having this information coming from her own book jackets and publishers. It's a pain, but try to find it documented somewhere else. Presumably some of those book reviews have done it (in which case you could make them references, and remove the section on reviews, which looks a little odd, albeit by no means bad). Flag me down if you have any questions, but you seem to be doing fine!Ssenier (talk) 14:12, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
