The lead should probably be longer. It's currently quite lacking in information, relative to the length of the article.
The word "professional" is redundant. If their career is as a comics writer, it logically follows that they are doing it professionally.
Is their no information about Jody Houser's birth date/place? This gap in her biography stands out as something that would make the article incomplete.
Several of the citations do not credit the author of the source. This information has to be included.
It seems like much of the Career section is just duplicating the same information as the Works section, but in prose form. This does not make for an interesting article to read, as you're not telling me much about the overall arch of Houser's career so much as listing the things she wrote.
There's a lot of quotes from reviews of individual works in this article, some of which don't even mention Houser herself, which distracts from the main thrust of the article. Reviews of individual works should be in articles about those works. This article should be focused on Houser.
Some of these long quotes are laudatory enough that I worry they'd be read as promotional and interfere with the neutrality of the article. Generally, passages longer than a single sentence should be summarised, not quoted in full.
The Personal life section does not read at all like a personal life section, with the exception of Houser playing a role playing game. It seems odd that a lot of this isn't integrated into the career section. Like, why are we not told about her education in writing before the start of her career?
Tweets are not acceptable sources at GA level. If the information from these cannot be backed up by reliable, secondary sources, then it should probably be removed.
Unfortunately, in its current state, I do not think this article is ready for a good article nomination. It still has a way to go in order to meet the good article criteria; in particular, I don't think it would pass criteria 1b, 3a, 3b or 4. I'd be happy to give this another look after some more work is done, so feel free to ping me when you feel you've addressed these comments. --Grnrchst (talk) 09:51, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
