WP:BLP of a writer, with only minor claims of notability and only primary sources to support them. This leans heavily on her being nominated for mostly non-notable literary awards that don't constitute automatic notability freebies -- and while there is one award here that is notable enough to be a valid notability claim for a writer, that's still not an instant free notability pass that exempts her from actually having to have any WP:GNG-worthy coverage in reliable sources: the notability test for writers is not the things the article says, but the depth and quality of the referencing that the article uses to support the things it says. But the only references here are her self-written biographical blurbs on the self-published websites of directly affiliated organizations and events, not reliable or independent or notability-supporting media coverage. None of these sources cut it as evidence of notability, and the article claims nothing about her that's "inherently" notable enough to exempt the sources from having to cut it as evidence of notability.

 * Keep I am seeing some good coverage in GNews:
 * Madness, anxiety and poetry, a |review of one of her books of poetry in the Jewish chronicle,
 * THE NOISES, The Old Red Lion Theatre, a review in Broadway World that talks about a play she wrote,
 * An extract of her work listed in the Evening Standard article The 2017 TS Eliot Prize shortlist
 * |more coverage in The Telegraph, this time on the 2018 TS Eliot Prize,
 * From a web search, a review in a publication called Boundless: ‘A Bargain With the Light: Poems after Lee Miller’ by Jacqueline Saphra; review,
 * A review in the Dundee University Review of the Arts, and
 * a review of another play she collaboratively wrote, The Noises review at Old Red Lion, London – ‘muddled but well-performed’.
 * It's not enough for WP:AUTHOR, but it is enough for GNG.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 05:13, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
