Tess Gerritsen

I have started expanding and sourcing the article, and have managed to receive a publicity photo from the subject. I know it is missing any substantial criticisms, but I haven't been able to find any. I hope mainly to get the prose looked at, fresh set of eyes will be great. » \ / (⁂ | ※) 02:10, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Review by Mae Sendikson

Generally, I had little difficulty with the prose--though a good copy-editor from time to time will be a pleasant addition. Find one with whom you can work. My first reaction to the article was your Lead--or, specifically, the lack of one, that is. I was well into the Thrillers section before I realized how notable Gerritsen is. I understand that you are expanding so I suggest that you read the PJ Haarsma review below (and article, plus discussion pages, and all tangential material), and see how well that article progressed. I believe, also, that you will find Ann Teedham's suggestions in the Margaret Murie review good guidelines to follow. Mae Sendikson (talk) 14:06, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the notes. I have always had trouble with writing the lead, but I was leaving it until I found some more balancing material. Work will be continuing shortly :) » \ / (⁂) 14:30, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
