[edit]- ... that Peggy Goodin wrote her Hopwood Award-winning novel Clementine in the basement of the Chi Omega sorority house at the University of Michigan? Source: "Peggy Goodin won a major Hopwood Award with this book in 1945... and she wrote it in the basement of the Chi Omega house--than which you could ask for no more authentic University of Michigan origin."

The article is new, and is long enough (though not much over the character count -- I think there's plenty of scope here for expansion, just from a glance at some of the sources used, though I don't think that's a flaw). The tone is neutral and the statements are well sourced: I didn't detect any issues with close paraphrasing, etc. I like both hooks but share the nominator's preference for the Clementine hook, since the little basement detail is fun and well sourced. I'd say this is ready to go. Jwrosenzweig (talk) 06:35, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
