Expand list of works with bibliographic details (was excessively long in a previous version of the article, but is now quite short).
Include reviews, including some from Kirkus and Publisher's Weekly.
Add information from coverage. Try here and here. --DiamondRemley39 (talk) 10:10, 11 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

Jonstonewrites I contested the PROD based on the subject not wanting to have the article because: she is a notable person. The two revisions in the PROD box read

"subject of BLP wishes to have article deleted as keeping it up-to-date and accurate is too difficult for them" -- she shouldn't be editing her own Wikipedia article.
"subject of BLP wishes to have article deleted as inaccuracies make it less helpful for people looking for information with other resources available" -- the Wikipedia article effectively not being good for marketing Mallery is not a reason for having the article deleted; I don't know what inaccuracies there are -- unless she has a different number of cats, poodle, husband, or bestsellers.

Given its current state, I don't blame her for disliking the article. But it can be improved. As the creator of a number of articles about contemporary writers and someone who is not unfamiliar with her work, I am aware she's not only notable, but, given her popularity, she's rather essential to the Women Writers WikiProject and would be an undertaking for the Women in Red WikiProject. I am going to have a busy few weeks, but I can make a number of improvements to the article this week and in a few weeks after that. Don't nominate for deletion yet. Thank you.
