Thanks for the message. You will need to provide references that meet the requirements of WP:RS - significant coverage in the press or other similar media, but note that they don't have to be online sources, as long as they are verifiable. The blog can be listed as an external link, but should not be a reference. – ukexpat (talk) 22:59, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Further to your recent message, I have done some work on reformatting the draft so that it complies with the Manual of Style. Note that you cannot use Wikipedia as a reference and note how I have linked Wikipedia articles by enclosing the name within double square brackets. You still have a fundamental problem with notability - without third party reliable sources you are not going to be able to establish that she is a notable author per WP:AUTHOR. At the moment she looks like a self-published author and without citing significant coverage in reliable sources, this is going to be an uphill struggle. – ukexpat (talk) 15:09, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
