Comment: we could say many more things, such as that more than 20 publisher rejected that "sensational" and "spectular" debut novel

New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. QPQ done.CrossTemple Jay 15:55, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

I agree with Gerda. The present hook is not that interesting. Yoninah (talk) 19:34, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

Could you suggest something? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:36, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

ALT1: ... that after being rejected by 24 publishers, Robert Schneider's (pictured) first novel, Schlafes Bruder, became an international bestseller and spawned a film, a ballet, an opera, and several plays? Yoninah (talk) 20:05, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

Fine, - I linked the film, and the opera may come. - I still think the contrast of success and refusal to continue is somewhat more unique ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:05, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

Thank you. New reviewer needed for ALT1. Pinging @Crosstemplejay:. Yoninah (talk) 10:22, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

Restoring thick. Nice work @Yoninah: and @Gerda Arendt:. ALT1 definitely more interesting. CrossTemple Jay 10:38, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
