Hi, I will read and make straightforward changes as I go and jot questions below: Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 10:27, 20 May 2017 (UTC)

I'd put the isolated last sentence at the end of the first paragraph (which summarises works). Keep lead at two paragraphs. For an article of this size, I reckon another 2 sentences of most notable content for lead would be prudent.

Done

I'm an Australian so valedictorian is not a word familiar to many of us. I'd link it.

Done

Any info on his father - did they ever reconnect?

Nope

In the 2nd para of the Career section, we have these early works. As none have individual pages, some more info on what they actually are and are about would be good to put in.

I've linked most of them except for I, Billy Shakespeare as it doesn't have a page and there is no information out there. Let me know what you think.

Avoid lots of small choppy paragraphs - some need to be combined.

Done

Do we have any info on why he wanted to be a writer?

I tried searching about this but couldn't find anything.

also, he was obviously really poor for many years, did okay after the game show, but did he ever talk about when he became really comfortable from writing?

Ditto.

Ultimately if we can't find sources for some of this then so be it - but I feel the any of the above that can be added will help round out the article. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 10:43, 20 May 2017 (UTC)
