[edit] Hang on

I did not create the page, but Joy Williams is a real published, well respected, and award-winning author of short stories. I don't have time right this minute to expand the article, but I or the article's creator will provide supporting information very soon. Please do not delete. --ShelfSkewed talk 22:35, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

I added the speedy tag. It only had one line of text and no assertion, but I probably should have given the author a minute. All fixed, tags removed. --Tractor kings fan 22:37, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Expansion

Nice job expanding this article out, ShelfSkewed. I may do some more research on Williams to add some more detail, but it reads pretty well now. Larry Dunn 22:03, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I just added the usual basic bio info & the Wikipedia bells & whistles. Some deeper treatment of her work is certainly needed. --ShelfSkewed talk 03:45, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Added a source

I added a source from a book on American literature in the 80s, so had to rejigger the references section a bit. I took a crack at making the refs work, but please feel free to wikify further.Larry Dunn 22:11, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
