Yes. I love it when wiki has the list of various forms in the menu!
Does writing an afterward or intro to another author's book count as non-fiction or essay?
Rebekah wrote: "Does writing an afterward or intro to another author's book count as non-fiction or essay?"No, that would not be enough to qualify for this task.
Jeffery DeaverHis website lists novels, short stories and other projects. I have linked the "other projects" page where you will find at the bottom a non-fiction book on law school and at the top an audio play.

Got it! Thanks, Bea.

Certainly!
Could I have Christopher Fowler approved for this task please? GR profile states he writes novels, short stories, scripts, press articles and reviews.
Kath wrote: "Could I have Christopher Fowler approved for this task please? GR profile states he writes novels, short stories, scripts, press articles and reviews."Do you know if he has published a short story collection or if at least one of his stories has been included in an anthology? The press articles and reviews won't qualify, but as a scriptwriter, that is one of the forms.

Yes he has published a collection. The Devil in Me: Short Stories.
Very good! Thank you. He's added!

I need some help here. We see these as two different authors. Can you tell me if both or only one (and which, if one) published in 3 or more forms?
Sorry, Elizabeth... it seems all the books are published under Rolf Boldrewood:In 1884 Old Melbourne Memories, a book of reminiscences of the eighteen-forties was published at Melbourne, "by Rolf Boldrewood, author of My Run Home, The Squatter's Dream and Robbery Under Arms"
Novels: My Run Home, The Squatter's Dream, Robbery Under Arms
Autobiography: Old Melbourne Memories
Short stories:
In Bad Company & Other Stories -Trove record
A Romance of Canvas Towns & Other Stories - Trove record
When I searched for these on Google images, all books have printed 'Rolf Boldrewood' as author.
Sorry, didn't think this wasn't straightforward!
Ah, so we don't have Browne at all. Yes, to Rolf Boldrewood.
Elizabeth Von Arnim? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabe...Looking at her Select Bibliography, most of them are novels, but All the Dogs of My Life is autobiography and The April Baby's Book of Tunes is a children's book.

We consider children's books to be of the same forms as adults books, not a second form.
The wikipedia entry is a "selected" bibliography. Perhaps there is another place to look for a complete listing that might qualify her for this task.
Ah, OK. I looked at Fantastic Fiction but it looks like only novels and that one autobiographical book. Never mind, it was only for a combo.

Just checking , if the book I'm reading is written under the pseudonym Peter Tremayne, then his non-fiction under his real name doesn't count for this task?https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter...

An author needs to have originally published all of the forms under the same name.

Oh, I hadn't ever looked at his short stories. They might be good! And you're good for this task, too!
Let's talk about Seán O'Casey.He's mostly known as a dramatist (plays). The Complete Plays Of Sean O'casey
But he also has a famous autobiography (nonfiction) Sean O'Casey - Autobiographies
But other places have also referenced poetry: Windfalls: Stories, Poems, and Plays -- says it includes 11 poems
Is that enough poetry to qualify him here?

The playwright, non-fiction and short stories are enough. The poems are a bonus! Added!
