Doesn't meet WP:NAUTHOR. I have looked for book reviews on Kirkus, Publishers Weekly, and Booklist, as well as a general Google and Google Scholar search, but haven't found any reviews for her books -- nor any other reliable, independent sources that discuss the author.

Withdrawn by nominator: Thank you, Bridget, for pointing out the pseudonym! I somehow missed that when I nominated for AFD. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 23:13, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

- Were you able to search for sources using her other name Em Bailey? I've found some sources on her that should be included in the article in a preliminary search: Publishers Weekly review of Shift (2011), these articles from the Australian books outlet Books Publishing [1][2][3][4], and this review of The Special Ones (2017) in The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books. Also, some reviews are mentioned on the US publisher's (Macmillan) website for two of her books: [5][6], which might also be worth searching for. Bridget (talk) 05:39, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
- Keep: I think there's definitely a case for WP:NAUTHOR. There's this brief review of The Special in the The Australian, one from Kirkus Reviews, and one from School Library Journal, and this review of Shift (via Gale) in The Horn Book Magazine. Bridget (talk) 18:25, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
