Okay, on the grounds that I need more options if Baileys gets up :https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zadie_S...
(my daughter is shocked I didn't vote this way, but on researching my options another one proved better for my reading goals ).
Curiosity had me looking.Wilkie Collins - novels, short stories, plays
http://www.wilkie-collins.info/works_...
this task is coming up a lot more fruitful than I expected!I guess that speaks of the need for versatility, particularly in this day and age. Man has got to b versatile to get his bread and butter!

She is not going to work unless you can find her essays collected and published somewhere.

Struggling with that. I did find a review (for television however):

Well! It appears Thomas Keneally has also written some plays! With Fiction & NF, he fits this task too?
Btw, I didn't phrase #10 as a question but are those 2 okay?
Tien wrote: "Btw, I didn't phrase #10 as a question but are those 2 okay?"I'm sorry I missed this. Ruth Park is fine.
The GR profile ofr D'Arcy Niland GR seems incomplete. Can you point in in another direction?
Tien wrote: "Well! It appears Thomas Keneally has also written some plays! With Fiction & NF, he fits this task too?"OH, thank you for this one! Got him on our list now!
Tien wrote: "Here's Niland's book list : novels, short stories, & NF.I'm excited about Keneally too lol ;D"
Excellent! Thank you - got him on the list!
Gore Vidal - nonfiction, plays, novels (and not there, but short stories, because if I get to it, that's what I'll be reading)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gore_Vi...
Anne McCaffrey - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Mc...at the bottom under "Other Works", it lists non-fiction and short-story collections.

Got her!
What about Hubert Selby Jr.? Wikipedia notes that he wrote short stories (four of which were published and then later became part of his first novel), fiction, screenplays and teleplays.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubert_....
"Selby continued to write short fiction, as well as screenplays and teleplays at his apartment in West Hollywood."
"Selby combined "Tralala", "The Queen Is Dead" and four other loosely linked short stories as part of his first novel, Last Exit to Brooklyn (1964)."
Bea wrote: "Do we have C.S. Lewis yet? poet, novelist, essayisthttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C._S._L..."

checking my options depending on whether Classics or mystery gets up :https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daphne_...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raymond...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorothy...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dashiel...
Almost makes me want to cross the floor to Mystery ( except du Maurier who has Classics ranked before mystery), and when i was just talking about having to lobby for Classics!

Got these - my gosh, the photo of Sayers reminds me of the sister in the movie Bonnie and Clyde.
Marion Zimmer Bradley - novels, short stories, poetry (see The Maenads) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marion_...
It looks like maybe just a single poem was published...Is that enough to count for poetry? Also, wiki lists "scholarly works" which look like nonfiction. (e.g., The Necessity for Beauty: Robert W. Chambers and the Romantic Tradition) Does that do it?
Tien wrote: "Stephen King - bibliography: novels, short stories, & NFSara Douglass: novels, short stories, & NF"
You're good with these Tien.

Elizabeth, did Hubert Selby Jr (post #75) get approved? I wasn't sure whether screenplays and teleplays would count.
Bea wrote: "Elizabeth, did Hubert Selby Jr (post #75) get approved? I wasn't sure whether screenplays and teleplays would count."Yes, sorry, I missed this one. He's good - novels, short stories, screenplays (film).
I want to remind or let everyone know about this site for confirming authors for this task and get Jane Smiley added to the list:http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/s/j...
It's quite easy to see what works an author has published and in what categories. Sorry I didn't remember it until today!
Okay, a few additional, using fantastic fiction:Zakes Mda - novels, plays, nonfiction
http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/m/z...
Elfriede Jelinek - novels, plays, nonfiction
http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/j/e...
Flannery O'Connor - novels, short stories, nonfiction

I may be taking your words too literally - is there an actual list of approved authors?

This is the link to authors mentioned/approved in this thread through Post 77.

Ok. Thanks Elizabeth. I don't see Marguerite Yourcenar and she seems to qualify.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marguer...

Indeed she does - added!
http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/index.cgi is a good source for the bibliography of science fiction and fantasy writers. Non-fiction is at the bottom of the page.So far, I've checked the following:
Poul Anderson (novels, short stories, poems, essays, non-fiction)
http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/ea.cgi?3
Issac Asimov (novels, short fiction, non-fiction)
http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/ea.cgi?5
Fredrik Pohl (novels, short fiction, non-fiction)
http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/ea.cgi?820
Jo Walton (novels, short fiction, non-fiction)
http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/ea.cgi?6719
All of these are fine, Deedee.

Poetry - Poems
Short Stories - Strange News from Another Star
Essays - If The War Goes On: Reflections On War And Politics

Yes, I've noticed that the information doesn't always appear there! My first glance goes there, then I look to see if they list as sub-headings the different styles of writing. If that still comes up inadequate then I have to read the article, heaven forbid! ;)
I could have given my word for Murakami, would that have counted ? I've read his writing across all formats .... ;)
