Comment
Hello, I am attempting to publish my first article. I am a big-time reader and thus a big fan of the Folio Prize and realised its founder did not have a Wikipedia page. Through research, I found out he is also highly accomplished in the literary world having published many of my favourite authors. I have been working on the final draft of the article and have incorporated the advice from the editors.
I have improved this draft by properly citing my sources and the subject meets the notability guideline for persons because these sources have published independent coverage of the person.

I have also cited three sources of where he was awarded by being put on the list of most influential people in London and the creative industry: The Evening Standards Progress 1,0000, The Bookseller 100, and H.Club 100. As well I have used many other sources to back up my article.
