You must declare any conflict of interest

Thanks for your reply at User talk:TheAafi. Please read the following notice (apologies for the boilerplate). It applies more to articles than drafts. Once the article is approved for publication, you need to follow those guidelines.

Hello, Lhooves. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. ~Anachronist (talk) 19:21, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sources

As far as I can tell, the only source in Draft:Jennifer Firestone that provides any significant coverage is https://chireviewofbooks.com/2017/06/09/gates-fields-jennifer-firestone-review/ -- and that source provides no coverage about the author, but about one of her books. You may be better off writing an article about the book if further independent coverage can be found.

That is the same suggestion someone gave to me when I wrote a draft about an author (Draft:Mark Cheverton); I could rewrite the article to be about one of his books and it would be suitable for article space on Wikipedia. In the same way that a fine wine can become famous but the winemaker remains unknown, so too can a book become notable but the author does not. (Ironically, this is not true for song recordings; we cannot have articles about song recordings unless the artist is already notable.)

Other sources are either not independent of Jennifer Firestone, or are trivial mentions. See Wikipedia:Golden rule for an overview of what is expected.

You also cite a couple of sources that provides quote blurbs of praise, but if those people aren't notable critics, they wouldn't count toward notability. ~Anachronist (talk) 19:40, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
