This article should be edited in accordance with the policies and guidelines outlined in Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons.

Apart from being all too brief this article lacks details: Date of Birth; why she changed her name and what the original was (this may not be public knowledge); more detailed biography; bibliography.

For the record she's one of my favourite authors, but

Some critics, however, have charged that Grayson's success is based more on notoriety (and her relationship with the highly successful Waid) than actual talent. A number of fans have complained that her work is poorly paced and prone to narrative excess, with verbose dialogue and captions attempting to compensate for actual story telling. None of her books have sold particularly well, some argue, and those that do, it is claimed, do so because Grayson is paired on those books with highly popular artists, such as "good girl" artist Jim Balent.

seems very POV.

Also, a sad lack of citations.

I would have to agree, and I'm considering putting the POV template on this article. Since the passage tacitly admits that some of Grayson's titles have sold well, it's highly subjective to attribute that to the artist.Bjones 18:35, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

I don't find her particularly stellar as a writer, but this article is clearly slanted and seems to smack of libel.

It's pretty clearly POV pushing - the claim has gone in a couple of times from the same IP address. Phil Sandifer 18:20, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
