Hello, Marileegd!
Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! KylieTastic (talk) 18:28, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

[edit]Thanks for email. You have an obvious conflict of interest, please don't write about yourself, your friends or relatives. Note that you are required to declare your obvious COI, and that Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not to to help out an under appreciated writer who is starting to develop some traction by posting about his new book (aka free advertising)
Please read the guidance below.
- you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines for books. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the organisation or company, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, logs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the company or organisation claims or interviewing its management. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls
- You had no in-line sources, and the only supposed ref was the publisher's website, clearly not an independent third party source.
- Without verified facts from independent sources, you can't show notability.
- You must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, with verifiable facts, not opinions or reviews.
- You repeat "best-selling", but with no evidence that is the case.
- There shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
- You must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.
- I see that you have released the book cover image to Wikipedia as free to use for any purpose, including commercial. That means that either you are a paid editor representing the publisher and relinquishing their rights, or, more likely that you are knowingly making a fake claim that you have the rights to release the obviously copyrighted book cover image. You also copied the plot summary, again infringing either the author's or the publisher's rights.
Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read Your first article. You must also reply to the COI request above.
If you wish to make constructive contributions, you can request an unblock here using {{unblock|your reason here}} It will be a condition of any unblock that you don't write about him or his books because of your obvious COI (as illustrated by your close-up image of him), which may not be what you want.
